Fathers

Famous quotes containing the word fathers:

“In a number of other cultures, fathers are not relegated to babysitter status, nor is their ability to be primary nurturers so readily dismissed.... We have evidence that in our own society men can rear and nurture their children competently and that men’s methods, although different from those of women, are imaginative and constructive.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)

“Slim inquirer, while the old fathers sleep
you are reworking their soil, you have
a grocery store there down under the earth....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
