It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town. Elie Wiesel
They said nothing and our parents said nothing, so we sensed how ancient they were, how accustomed to trauma, depressions, and wars. We realized that the version of the world they rendered for us was not the world they really believed in, and for all their caretaking and bitching about crabgrass they didn't give a damn about lawns. Jeffrey Eugenides
I do not believe God created an egalitarian world. I believe the authority of parent over child, husband over wife, learned over simple, to have been as much a part of the original plan as the authority of man over beast. C. S. Lewis
Socrates quote: "Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents,..."

Frank McCourt quote: "If you were mean to your parents, they'd give you a good belt..."
If you were mean to your parents, they'd give you a good belt in the gob and send you flying across the room. Frank McCourt
So I went to New York City to be born again. It was and remains easy for most Americans to go somewhere else and start anew. I wasn't like my parents. I didn't have any supposedly sacred piece of land or shoals of friends to leave behind. Nowhere has the number zero been of more philisophical value than in the United States.... and when the [train] plunged into a tunnel under New York City, with it's lining of pipes and wires, I was out of the womb and into the birth canal. Kurt Vonnegut
