Famous quotes containing the word father:

    My father was a patriarch inside a matriarchy, but never knew it.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s. He’s more particular.... The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I believe that I am letting my kids see that a man can be tender, sensitive, warm, attentive to feelings, and present, just plain there. That’s important to me, because I didn’t get any of that from my own father, and I am realizing now how much I missed it.
    —Anonymous Father (20th century)
