“Passivity can be a provoking modus operandi;
Consider the Empire and Gandhi.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“Being a father
Is quite a bother . . .
You improve them mentally
And straighten them dentally, . . .
They’re no longer corralable
Once they find that you’re fallible . . .
But after you’ve raised them and educated them and
gowned them,
They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
them.
Being a father
Is quite a bother,
But I like it, rather.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
