Becoming A Father Quotes (page 3)

It was the first rent in the holy image of my father, it was the first fissure in the columns that had upheld my childhood, which every individual must destroy before he can become himself. Herman Hesse
But the vicar of St. Botolph's had certainly escaped the slightest tincture of the Pharisee, and by dint of admitting to himself that he was too much as other men were, he had become remarkably unlike them in this - that he could excuse others for thinking slightly of him, and could judge impartially of their conduct even when it told against him. [from Middlemarch, a quote my mother thinks describes the kind of man my father was] George Eliot
Her (Mary's) Son first had to be the Child of the Father in order then to become man and be capable of taking up on his shoulders the burden of a guilty world. Hans Urs von Balthasar
The more God asks us to participate in His mysteries, the more disoriented we become, because He asks us constantly to follow our dreams and our hearts. And that's difficult to do when we're used to living in a different way. Finally we discover, to our surprise, that God wants us to be happy, because He is the Father. Paulo Coelho

Howard Zinn

Later, at Stanford University, I thought I'd become a lawyer or businessman, but my father came to me and said he thought there was a big future in the fine-wine business. Robert Mondavi
True maturity is only reached when a man realizes he has become a father figure to his girlfriends' boyfriends - and he accepts it. Larry McMurtry
Dwight Gooden quote: "My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with..."
My father helped me become a ballplayer and take the good with the bad. Dwight Gooden
My father had kicked me out of his house at the height of an argument over an opinion difference. He had become so enraged. He told me never to come back, and that was all the severance it took. Lynette Fromme
I've been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it's that once you hit a few shots, you'll become addicted. Fred Durst
Jean Dujardin quote: "I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my..."
I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person. Jean Dujardin
Wherever the citizen becomes indifferent to his fellows, so will the husband be to his wife, and the father of a family toward the members of his household. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Brad Pitt quote: "I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father."
I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father. Brad Pitt
When you're a father in a marriage, you sort of become the mother's assistant. And you sort of get a list from her every day and you run down the list and it feels very much like a chore. Louis C. K.
