Father Mariano

Famous quotes containing the words father and/or mariano:

    My father was a gentleman of many virtues,—but he had a strong spice of that in his temper which might, or might not, add to the number.—’Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause,—and of obstinacy in a bad one.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    When your parents are in political life, you aren’t normal. Everybody talks about the benefits, but I don’t know what the benefits are.... But I’d rather have that kind of mother than an overweight housewife.
    —Katherine Berman Mariano (b. 1957)
