Begotten Son

Famous quotes containing the words begotten son, begotten and/or son:

    All the accumulations of life, that wear us out—clocks,
    bodies, consciousness, shoe, breasts—begotten sons—your Communism—‘Paranoia’ into hospitals.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    He was begotten in the galley and born under a gun. Every hair was a rope yarn, every finger a fish-hook, every tooth a marline-spike, and his blood right good Stockholm tar.
    Naval epitaph.

    I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though it’s hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see he’s tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, “I love you, Mommy.” When he says, “I love you,” I know that he knows that he is loved.
