Reverend Father

Famous quotes containing the words reverend and/or father:

“That reverend Vice, that grey Iniquity, that father Ruffian,
that Vanity in years.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
