Ordinary father-daughter love had a charge to it that generally was both permitted and indulged. There was just something so beautiful about the big father complementing the tiny girl. Bigness and tininess together at last – yet the bigness would never hurt the tininess! It respected it. In a world in which big always crushes tiny, you wanted to cry at the beauty of big being kind of and worshipful of and being humbled by tiny. You couldn't help but think of your own father as you saw your little girl with hers. ~ Meg Wolitzer
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Meg Wolitzer
Father of the fatherless daughter, do not be the lost soul in your daughter's life. Play a major role in your daughter's life. She should always be her daddy's little princess, even when she is old and gray. She deserves to be happy! She deserves to be loved! She deserves joy! And she deserves you! ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Father of the fatherless sons and daughters, you should also want the best for your children. You've always been welcomed since day one (when they were conceived). However, it was your choice to be a part of their life or not. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I've made it my business to observe fathers and daughters. And I've seen some incredible, beautiful things. Like the little girl who's not very cute - her teeth are funny, and her hair doesn't grow right, and she's got on thick glasses - but her father holds her hand and walks with her like she's a tiny angel that no one can touch. He gives her the best gift a woman can get in this world: protection. And the little girl learns to trust the man in her life. And all the things that the world expects from women - to be beautiful, to soothe the troubled spirit, heal the sick, care for the dying, send the greeting card, bake the cake - allof those things become the way we pay the father back for protecting us ... ~ Adriana Trigiani
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Adriana Trigiani
They glanced over at Catherine, who was dancing with Billy, as only fathers and daughters can dance. No matter how old the daughter may be, the father is dancing, in joy unparalleled, with his child when she was little. ~ Mark Helprin
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Mark Helprin
Every child grows up thinking their father is a hero or villain until they are old enough to realize that he is just a man ~ Mark Maish
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Mark Maish
He taught me that there is no shame in breaking something, only in not being able to fix it. ~ Hope Jahren
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Hope Jahren
I let his voice be my comfort. It bore no trace of pain or self-pity, carrying only good humor and softness and just the tiniest hint of jazz. I lived on it as if it were oxygen. It was sustaining, and it was always enough. ~ Michelle Obama
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Michelle Obama
This is embarrassing." Hannah sniffed. "I'm too old to be crying on your shoulder." "You're never too old to cry on your dad's shoulder, although I have to admit I hate to see you cry. ~ Sarah Morgan
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Sarah Morgan
He sweeps her hair back from her ears; he swings her above his head. He says she is his émerveillement. He says he will never leave her, not in a million years. ~ Anthony Doerr
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Anthony Doerr
But he was sixty-two when I was, born, and the novelty of daughters had worn away long before. ~ Jane Smiley
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jane Smiley
Balt Van Tassel was an easy indulgent soul; he loved his daughter better even than his pipe, and, like a reasonable man and an excellent father, let her have her way in everything. ~ Washington Irving
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Washington Irving
In our society today, we have what I call the "revolving door" fathers that come in and out of their children's lives, and who are known as the part-time fathers of the fatherless sons and daughters. They aren't any better than the fathers who simply disappeared. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Help your father
As he ages
And loses his strength
For it was he who sheltered you
And protected you from the storms

KhoiSan Book of Wisdom ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Love isn't a competition. It's not about coming in first or second or last. It's not about how much they love you back or making sure that they love you the most. When you truly love someone, you care more about their happiness than your own. If your mom finds someone else that she can love and who will love her back and make her happy, then I will be glad. Love isn't about coming in first place, Gemma. Love is about putting someone else first in front of yourself. ~ Natalie Palmer
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Natalie Palmer
A good father loves his daughter with no strings attached. He is available. He is both strong and tender. Being big and strong doesn't mean being separate from one's feelings; to the contrary, it means being very much in touch with them. Women who experienced fathers like that know that a strong man can cry, and that a man who can cry can also be very strong. ~ Marlin S. Potash
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Marlin S. Potash
When fathers are lovingly involved with their daughters from birth, the daughters reap the benefits all their lives. Daughters who had fathers they could count on are the most likely to be drawn to men who treat them well, to see their lovers as dependable people who won't suddenly disappear, and to be consistently orgasmic. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
Father of the fatherless daughters, do not let your daughter's life pass you by. A daughter's love is so precious; you will never have to prove your love to her because she will accept you as you are. Do not be the reason why your daughter settles for a man for the wrong reasons. Do not be the reason why your daughter's self-esteem is shot down to the lowest level. Do not be the reason why your daughter's in a physical, verbal, and emotional abused relationship. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Fathers of the fatherless daughters, you sweet little precious girls should be your lifeline. Father of the fatherless daughter, you are setting your daughter up for failure. You are showing your daughter there is no such thing as true love and happiness. Father of the fatherless daughter, do you not think your daughter deserves your love? Do you not think when she's older she deserves to be truly loved and to know what love should be from a man? It is your responsibility as a father to show her; her worthiness of what love can really be. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Fathers are unwitting objects of fascination for their daughters, and the interlude of their childhood leaves a bittersweet taste: never again, for anyone else, will we be domestic demi-gods, greeted like long-awaited saviours when we come home for dinner at the end of the working day. The years go by and their joy becomes less and less palpable, until one day they fail to greet us at all. This time is past and the countdown reaches zero. We had known it would happen, we just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly ~ Antoine Laurain
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Antoine Laurain
A girl's sense of her womanly self depends only in part on how closely she has followed her mother's example in attire and actions, or how much she loves or hates or respects her. It is from both parents that a girl gains her basic identity. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
Radical and insurgent and impatient. Those qualities sound more like you, my love. ~ Meagan Spooner
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Meagan Spooner
Antonia! This is your father speaking. Unless you've swooned onto the floor, I expect you to get yourself out here immediately. ~ Jane Carter Barrett
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jane Carter Barrett
He knocked politely and entered the principal's office with his dad face in full effect. He put his hand on my shoulder in a way that came off as both stern and proud. He was dad-ing it up for the principal, which I was actually a little grateful for, but it also made me mad. ~ Charlotte Leonetti
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlotte Leonetti
Part-time fathers of the fatherless sons and daughters, it is pathetic that you all do not see that your revolving doors are a problem. The continuous cycle has to stop! It destroys your son's and daughter's identity. Man up, and take care of your children. As they become wiser and older you will not have anyone to blame but yourself when they are filled with resentment. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
The fathers of the fatherless children are the ones who abandon and neglect their sons and daughters. They are not held responsible for their part in regards to helping raise their children. Where is the justice for our sons and daughters? Father of the fatherless children, you are a sorry excuse for a man. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
What does it feel like to have a girl?" said the man, chewing. Her father wiped his mouth with his napkin, tilted his head to one side and said smiling: "Sometimes it feels like I have a warm egg in my hand. Sometimes, nothing: total memory loss…Occasionally it feels like I have a girl of my own, really mine. ~ Clarice Lispector
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Clarice Lispector
It isn't just the physical presence of the father that matters- it's his engagement and involvement. An emotionally remote or rejecting or actively punitive father leads to girls' feeling pretty apprehensive around men. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
For someone so intuitive," he said, shaking his head, "sometimes you only see what you expect to see. ~ M.A. George
Fathers And Daughters quotes by M.A. George
It paid barely a living wage, but he stayed with it - gradually and in the end gratefully arriving at the point in life when you understand there are no great changes ahead. ~ Ann Packer
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Ann Packer
It's rare to see a man step up and say "I can be a great father and learn about gymnastics with my daughter and take her to dance lessons because I love her." I can make time to blow bubbles on the back porch. It doesn't cause your man card to be revoked. ~ Dan Alatorre
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Dan Alatorre
Geoffrey's own heart felt inconveniently large just then. ~ Thomas Hardy
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Thomas Hardy
Father of the fatherless children, it is time to change; and the time is now. You shouldn't want your sons and daughters to isolate themselves from the world because of your doing. You should want more for your children. You shouldn't want your sons and daughters to feel empty and alone because your presence never existed. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Why shouldn't Mom trust me, Dad" Why are you so determined to make me out to be the bad guy all the time?" I stared at the side of his face, willing him to make eye contact. He didn't. "I've been doing really good late and you don't even care."
"Yet you still managed to get into trouble tonight," he said.
"You have no idea what happened tonight," I said, my voice ratcheting up a notch. "All you know is that, because I was involved, I'm somehow guilty of something. You could at least pretend to care, you know. You could at least try to understand."
Dad gave a sardonic little laugh. "I'll tell you what I understand," he said. "I understand that when you're left to your own devices you get into trouble, that's what I understand. I understand I was trying to have a happy, restful evening with Briley and once again you screwed it up. ~ Jennifer Brown
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jennifer Brown
I wish you a beautiful blessed Father's Day. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
When I was twenty-something, I asked my father, "When did you start feeling like a grownup?" His response: "Never. ~ Shannon Celebi
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Shannon Celebi
These two Joes - the nasty bully and the starry-eyed dreamer - were my father. Growing up, the difficulty was knowing just which Joe would rise with the sun that day. ~ Pythia Peay
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Pythia Peay
Family is the chief metaphor that the Bible uses when it talks about the church. God is our Father. Jesus is our Husband. The Spirit is the Counselor to a redeemed, beloved, and often dysfunctional spiritual family. We are spiritual brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and daughters and sons to one another. We didn't choose one another, but we have been given to one another by our Father in heaven, who intends for us to stay together and not hit the eject button when things get difficult or irritating or boring. And when we stay together, we are the better for it. ~ Scott Sauls
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Scott Sauls
We are born with our father's names. We are not responsible for their failures. We are responsible for what they made us believe in. That is our only obligation. And it is even then a choice which we may sometimes be wise to ignore. ~ Warren Eyster
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Warren Eyster
Life up here may be simple but it's not easy, and it's not for everyone. Water runs out; pipes freeze; engines won't start; it's dark for eighteen, nineteen hours a day, for months. Even longer in the far north. Up here it's about having enough food to eat, and enough heat to stay alive through the winter. It's about survival, and enjoying the company of the people that surround us. It's not about whose house is the biggest, or who has the nicest clothes, or the most money. We support each other because we're all in this together.

"And people either like that way of life or they don't; there's no real in-between. People like Wren and Jonah, they find they can't stay away from it for too long. And people like Susan, well . . . they never warm up to it. They fight the challenges instead of embracing them, or at least learning to adapt to them." Agnes pauses, her mouth open as if weighing whether she should continue. "I don't agree with the choices Wren made where you're concerned, but I know it was never a matter of him not caring about you. And if you want to blame people for not trying, there's plenty of it to go around." Agnes turns to smile at me then. "Or you could focus on the here-and-now, and not on what you can't change. ~ K.A. Tucker
Fathers And Daughters quotes by K.A. Tucker
Daughter, we didn't need your note - or a prince's visit - to tell us you'd done nothing wrong. We know the daughter we raised. We fear for your future, but never for your character. You take our love and our trust wherever you wander.
Father. ~ Gail Carson Levine
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Gail Carson Levine
Darling Daddy,
This is Rose.
Saffy says everyone says it is Indigo's fault that their Head has two black eyes and a swelled-up nose.
Love from Rose.
P.S. Sarah who is here says to tell you love from wheelchair woman too.
Rose's father telephoned especially to tell Rose not to call Sarah Wheelchair Woman.
"That's what she called herself," protested Rose. "She thought of it! Aren't you worried about what I told you about Indigo and the Head?"
"What?" asked Bill. "Oh that! Two black eyes and a swollen nose! I don't think I can believe that one, Rose darling! ~ Hilary McKay
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Hilary McKay
An appropriately warm and affectionate relationship with the father is the greatest basis for future warm and lasting relationships with men emotionally and sexually. I say this not by virtue of any statistic but by virtue of the absence of such relationships is most of the sexually unhappy women I've treated. I can't think of one who had a wondrous relationship with her father- except for those who did have such a relationship but lost it because of the early death of the father. ~ Avodah K. Offit
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Avodah K. Offit
Dad turned to Kurt. "You must be the boy I keep hearing about."
"I guess so," Kurt said.
"Well, Kurt," Dad said, "just remember that I specialize in tying things to rockets and sending them into space. And sometimes they accidentally blow up."
"Dad."
"You'll have no reason to kill me, sir."
"Kurt. You make sure she doesn't cry, okay?"
Dad smiled happily at Kurt and then sagely at me. ~ Robison Wells
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Robison Wells
Fathers of the fatherless son and daughters, your children want to see you, your children want to spend time with you, your children want you to be a part of their lives. You all are too focused on what you "think" you should be doing to benefit the mother. Let it be known, you are not doing the mother of your children any favors. The mother of your children is the one who is pulling the entire ship; it would be nice if you all jump on board to share the load. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
He was what she had always needed her father to be. ~ Jordan Weisman
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jordan Weisman
Dear Fathers of the Fatherless son, Your son is growing up faster than he should. He is making "grown man" moves that are dangerous and a hazard to his life. Father of the fatherless son, you are nowhere to be found as your son slips into the deep end of destruction. Lend both of your hands, your heart, actions, and words to pull him up out of the deep end. Father of the fatherless son, is it fair that your son has to lose himself, knowing you can help save him? Are you going to stand there and watch your son slip further and further into a path that will change his life forever? ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Even Dad likes it," said Caddy, and her father agreed that he did. In a way. Being a broad-minded, tolerant, artistic sort of person. Or so people told him ...
"Oh, yes?" said Saffron, rolling her eyes.
"Yes," said Bill, sounding a little bit peeved. "So you thank your lucky stars, my girl, because in some families you would have come home to very big trouble! A nose stud! At your age! If you come down with blood poisoning, don't blame me! ~ Hilary McKay
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Hilary McKay
Mothers show their daughters how to become strong, fathers make them ~ Rafia Shujaat
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Rafia Shujaat
Father of the fatherless son, you are your son's missing hero. Let it be known, you do not have the right to take offense when another man steps in and raises your son. If you are alive and well, it is a shame that another man has to step up to the plate to raise your son to be a better man than you. However, it is a lovely thing for your son, because blood doesn't always run deep. Love runs deep and love conquers all hearts, bodies, and souls. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I recall those beautiful summer mornings with my parents by the sandy beach of Belek. My father used to teach me how to ride waves. I remember him constantly emphasizing the fact that no wave, no matter how big it is should stir enough fear inside me to keep me glued to the shore. He used to repeat those words while glancing at my mother with a smile that could set the whole sea on fire. My mother, sitting on the beach, too afraid of the deep blue sea, contented herself with building sand castles, ones my father would step on trying to drag her hopelessly into water.
Step on your sand castle and dive deep. Dive deep into the unknown. Life is damn too short for building sand castles. ~ Malak El Halabi
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Malak El Halabi
He never had time to look at the stars and fulfill his dreams, as he was too busy in fulfilling mine my hero my father ~ Sonal Bharija Singh
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Sonal Bharija Singh
Father absence has been implicated in anorexia nervosa, in which daughters may exhibit literal father hunger by starving themselves. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
Because death is the only thing that could have ever kept him from you. ~ Ally Carter
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Ally Carter
My dad's life was magnificent, but only if I let myself see and remember more than his years of decline. ~ Lisa J. Shultz
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Lisa J. Shultz
We drove on in silence, Dad shaking his head in disgust every few minutes. I stared at him, wondering how it was we got to this place. How the same man who held his infant daughter and kissed her tiny face could one day be so determined to shut her out of his life, out of his heart. How, even when she reacyhed out to him in distress - Please, Dad, come get me, come save me - all he could do was accuse her. How that same daughter could look at him and feel nothing but contempt and blame and resentment, because that's all that radiated off of him for so many years and it had become contagious. ~ Jennifer Brown
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jennifer Brown
What makes matters worse is that the fathers of the fatherless sons and daughters all become so angry to the point that they want to cut their children out of their lives. Reminder. Wake up call. Hello, can you hear me? You've been there and done that already. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
It took to lose my father,
To see the toll of being a rock,
A solid rock - The one solid rock...
Someone can depend on, rely on, base on!

But he never said, he is tired,
Tired of being that solid rock,
The secret behind his persistence,
Maybe i will never know...

For he is not here anymore,
To show how to keep on being a solid rock,
I will have to learn the hard way,
Just like he learned it - I guess!

It took to lose my father,
To see the toll of being a rock,
A rock - The one solid rock...
Everyone can depend on, rely on, base on! ~ Rafia Shujaat
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Rafia Shujaat
My dad's contentment is all that matters to me. When he's laughing, I'm laughing. When he's happy, I'm happy. I would give up my soul for him. To me, nothing else but his happiness matters. ~ Rebecah McManus
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Rebecah McManus
She stared up at him, and her eyes were so large they looked like blue mint candies. 'I get to stay?'
'You're damn right you're staying, and I don't want to hear another word of disrespect.' His voice broke. 'I'm your father, and you damn well better love me the same way I love you, or you'll be sorry.'
The next thing he knew, he was grabbing her, and she was grabbing him, and all the bozos coming down the jerway trying to get past them were jabbing them with bags and briefcases, but he didn't care. He was holding tight to this daughter he loved so desperately, and he wasn't ever going to let her go. ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
A man's daughter is his heart. Just with feet, walking out in the world. ~ Mat Johnson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Mat Johnson
Fathers and daughters have a special bond.
She is always daddy's little girl. ~ Richard L. Ratliff
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Richard L. Ratliff
You're an old soul, Ava..." he'd begun, his voice tired.
"God, Dad... Let's not do this now, please..."
"It's true. You are. But that means you have to choose your life… not just react to it. ~ Danika Stone
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Danika Stone
Henri held herself as if only her arms could keep her pieced together, and I saw that behind all her fake control - throwing herself at a teacher, carving our dad out of her heart - was something fragile. I wish we'd seen it sooner - my dad and Mr. Flynn, they had a responsibility to see it, to do better. Those moments were my sister spinning out. ~ Jessica Taylor
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jessica Taylor
She remembered how she had felt cleaning out her father's clothes, wanting at once to hold on to every dirty handkerchief and musty page of sheet much, and yet wishing she were anywhere else on earth, free of it all. ~ J. Courtney Sullivan
Fathers And Daughters quotes by J. Courtney Sullivan
I am so proud of my father; he is the biggest example of success and courage I have ever seen in my life. He is the emperor of my kingdom. Of course, my father IS an emperor, his name is Asoka, the greatest emperor ruled in India. Moreover, as the name says, he is 'without sorrow' and the slayer of our sorrows. ~ Ama H. Vanniarachchy
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Ama H. Vanniarachchy
It was just regular growing up, of course, the kind everyone does - but it still hurt him, I know, like the memory I have of the time he dropped me off at the train station when I was going back to Chicago. I could see him through the window of the train, but he couldn't see me through the tinted glass.
I waved, trying to get his attention as he walked up and down the platform trying to figure out where I was sitting. From up in the train, he looked so small. If he'd seen me, he would have smiled and waved, but he didn't know I could see him, and the sadness on his face was exposed to me then. He looked lost. He stood there on the platform a long time, even after my train started pulling away, still trying to catch a glimpse of me waving back. ~ Catherine Chung
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Catherine Chung
For all children, mothers are their first love, their first acquaintance with intimacy, touch, warmth, tenderness, sustenance. Infancy is a conspiracy between mothers and their babies, a bond that fathers can only helplessly witness, denied the profound pleasure and pain of giving birth. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
All her young life she has tried to please her father, never quite realizing that, as a girl, she never could. ~ Alice Walker
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Alice Walker
Keep your heart wide open and you'll be received with open hearts - not by everyone, but to be received by one open heart is more than worth the journey. ~ Marnie Grundman
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Marnie Grundman
Father of the fatherless son, do not underestimate the impact of your physical and emotional absence. Do not limit your role in your son's life. Be the tools your son needs to help build his present and future. Father of the fatherless son, now is the time to take ownership and see your own responsibility in the problem. Do not be a missing mystery. Do not be a fatherless father that covers up his flaws. Own up to it, and be the start of healing the unhealed fatherless son. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
A father is an animal the moment he loves his public reputation more than his children but the father becomes a father of his children, the moment he loves his children more than his public reputation. Fathers are plenty whereas what we lack today is a selfless father. ~ Fahad Basheer
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Fahad Basheer
Mothers are not simply models of femininity to their daughters but also examples of how a woman reacts to a man. Daughters learn about fathers, and men, not only by being with Dad but also by observing their parent's marital relationship-- or its unraveling.

When mothers and fathers are supportive or each other, it makes each of their paternal jobs infinitely easier. And parents who cannot bear being in one another's presence reveal as much, if not more, to a child about romantic love as anything the mother or father might say. ~ Victoria Secunda
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Victoria Secunda
No one has traveled inside of me all my days. No one has carried me inside of them. Just my father - the one I basically just took scissors to and cut out of the family portrait. ~ Tracy Bayle
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Tracy Bayle
Note to all of the fathers of the fatherless sons and daughters, there is no way you can love yourself without taking care of your responsibilities. Sadly, your unknown presence is your son's and daughter's first rejection in life. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
If you can't do what you really want to do, then do the next best thing! ~ Stacey Culpepper
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Stacey Culpepper
I get a message from my dad. In the mood I'm in, I tear up to see his name in my inbox, and imagine him down the hall in bed, propped on pillows, emailing me.
"Hon,
Enjoyed our gelato date the other night. I just want to say I'm proud of you for a lot of reasons. Also, I've attached a picture of my foot."
He's such a weirdo goofball. I love him. ~ Sara Zarr
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Sara Zarr
Son, we are all products of operant conditioning. By daring to think outside the box, you'll be judged. Stay the course. Heightened cognizance is meaningful only when freely sought out and discovered. Not when it is incrementally spoon-fed to you throughout your lifetime. ~ A.K. Kuykendall
Fathers And Daughters quotes by A.K. Kuykendall
Time heals nothing. Wounds fester and ooze. Life drags you by a rope over rocks and stones and one day you look up, look back, and see you've been used to cut a path, mark a trail. ~ Bob Thurber
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Bob Thurber
Fathers of the fatherless sons and daughters, your presence will help build your children's identity. Whether you know it or not, your presence builds security and confidence, and it will produce great strides in your children's confidence and determination. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter; dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty, beyond waht can be valued, rich or rare; no less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor; as much as child e'er loved, or father found; a love that makes breath poor, and speech unable; beyond all manner of so much I love you. ~ William Shakespeare
Fathers And Daughters quotes by William Shakespeare
Incidentally, I have also learned a bit about the importance of avoiding feminine embarrassment ('Daddy,' wrote Sophia when she enrolled at the New School where I teach, 'people will ask "why is old Christopher Hitchens kissing that girl?"') and shall now cease and desist. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Do you miss him?'
I take a moment to consider the question, my fingers fiddling with the white pegs in the little tray on my lap. 'I think I miss the idea of him. I don't miss his rules or the yelling or the way he'd belittle us. I don't miss his drinking or the rages, but I miss having a dad, you know?'
'What about your mum?'
I smile sadly. 'We talk, but only occasionally. She left Dad when I was little, which I totally get. He isn't the easiest person to live with... ~ Jennifer Joyce
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Jennifer  Joyce
It was like we were exchanging codes, on how to be a father and a daughter, like we'd read about it in a manual, translated from another language, and were doing our best with what we could understand. ~ Aimee Bender
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Aimee Bender
I'm an old man now. Old on the inside. I'm a drunk, and I hate to tell you, but I'm not prepared to change. So you have to figure out if you want to forgive me and love me like I am, or run away again. Or hell, stay here and hate me. Just ... know that I love you the best way I know how. I always have. I do the best I can. ~ Suzanne Palmieri
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Suzanne Palmieri
A father's tears and fears are unseen, his love is unexpressed, but his care and protection remains as a pillar of strength throughout our lives. ~ Ama H. Vanniarachchy
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Ama H. Vanniarachchy
He wanted me to go with him, and had cast his line, hoping to snag his most elusive catch - me. ~ Amber Lynn Natusch
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Amber Lynn Natusch
Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children, Chief Guardians take on the responsibilities of being both the mother and father. I've noticed that a lot of people say, a mother can't be a father. That could be very well true, however, we do not have a choice but to "play" the "father role" to the best of our ability. We are the mothers, but the fathers of the fatherless children cowardly volunteer our services. It's hard enough being a mother, but it is harder trying to play the "father's" role as well. However, those are the cards we were dealt. I can say, for the sake of the matter - no, we do not know how to be a "father", but we do the best we can. That is why it is imperative that all fathers take responsibly and execute their role full-time. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
She'll find you. Her need to know you will eventually consume her. ~ Stephen Douglass
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Stephen Douglass
Success is not due to spontaneous combustion. You have to set yourself on fire. ~ Various Attributed Sources

Fathers And Daughters quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
He carries what he feels for people deep inside. Even as a kid he was that way," Aunt Margaret said. "Your momma knows that." But I had wondered then as I did now what good love was that couldn't be expressed. ~ Ron Rash
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Ron Rash
As with husbands and wives, so with many fathers and daughters, and so with some sons and mothers: the man will himself be cross in public and think nothing of it, nor will he greatly mind a little crossness on the part of the woman; but let her show agitation before any spectator, he is instantly reduced to a coward's slavery. Women understand that ancient weakness, of course; for it is one of their most important means of defense, but can be used ignobly. ~ Booth Tarkington
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Booth Tarkington
I know that throughout my life I have struggled to forgive my father. Now, as I get older, I wish most of all that he had been able to find a way to forgive himself. ~ Madeleine Thien
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Madeleine Thien
He is a demon, Clarissa," said Valentine, still in the same soft voice. "A demon with a man's face. I know how deceptive such monsters can be. Remember, I spared him once myself."
"Monster?" echoed Clary. She thought of Luke, Luke pushing her on the swings when she was five years old, higher, always higher; Luke at her graduation from middle school, camera clicking away like a proud father's; Luke sorting through each box of books as it arrived at his store, looking for anything she might like and putting it aside. Luke lifting her up to pull apples down from the trees near his farmhouse. Luke, whose place as her father this man was trying to take. "Luke isn't a monster," she said in a voice that matched Valentine's, steel for steel. "Or a murderer. You are."
"Clary!" It was Jace.
Clary ignored him. Her eyes were fixed on her father's cold black ones. "You murdered your wife's parents, not in battle but in cold blood," she said. "And I bet you murdered Michael Wayland and his little boy, too. Threw their bones in with my grandparents' so that my mother would think you and Jace were dead. Put your necklace around Michael Wayland's neck before you burned him so everyone would think those bones were yours. After all your talk about the untainted blood of the Clave - you didn't care at all about their blood or their innocence when you killed them, did you? Slaughtering old people and children in cold blood, that's monstrous. ~ Cassandra Clare
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Cassandra Clare
I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together. ~ Norah Jones
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Norah Jones
A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day. ~ Sarah Ruhl
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Sarah Ruhl
Her laughter was my favorite symphony. ~ Avijeet Das
Fathers And Daughters quotes by Avijeet Das
It was common for my father to sit my sisters down and tell them things like, "I saw a girl working in the bank in town, and she was a girl just like you." My parents had never completed primary school. They couldn't speak English or even read that well. My parents only knew the language of numbers, buying and selling, but they wanted more for their kids. That's why my father had scraped the money together and kept Annie in school, despite the famine and other troubles. ~ William Kamkwamba
Fathers And Daughters quotes by William Kamkwamba
My mother's parents, Bernard and Rivka Levine, were from Russia and also immigrated to New York City. My mother, Rose, was the elder of their two daughters. My maternal grandmother's family included several scholars and professionals. ~ Robert Lefkowitz
