Mother Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or rooney:

“If you could choose your parents,... we would rather have a mother who felt a sense of guilt—at any rate who felt responsible, and felt that if things went wrong it was probably her fault—we’d rather have that than a mother who immediately turned to an outside thing to explain everything, and said it was due to the thunderstorm last night or some quite outside phenomenon and didn’t take responsibility for anything.”
—D.W. Winnicott (20th century)

“A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I’m about $100,000 short.”
—Mickey Rooney (b. 1920)
