Parental Quotes (page 29)

The only parents in the world who don’t need sleep, and our child already sleeps through the night. Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.429 Stephenie Meyer
Quitoon knew the world well. It wasn't jut Humankind and its works he knew, but all manner of things without any clear connection between them. He knew about spices, parliaments, salamanders, lullabies, curses, forms of discourse and disease; of riddles, chains, and sanities; ways to make sweetmeats, love and widows; tales to tell children, tales to tell their parents, tales to tell yourself on days when everything you know means nothing. Clive Barker
When a girl is seventeen she needs good parents. When she's twenty-five she needs a pretty face and figure. When she's thirty-five she needs a good personality. When she's fifty-five she needs cash. Sophie Tucker
Roger stooped, picked up a stone, aimed and threw it at Henry-threw it to miss. The stone, that token of preposterous time, bounced five yards to Henry's right and fell in the water. Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them. Yet there was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. ... William Golding
Jodi Picoult quote: "And if your parents have you for a reason, then that reason..."
And if your parents have you for a reason, then that reason better exist. Because once it's gone, so are you. Jodi Picoult
The next day, Greg is so large that he cannot even ride the car to school because he can't fit in the car. His parents believe this to have been caused by a food allergy and resolve to take him to the doctor later. R. L. Stine
I have the courage, I believe, to doubt everything; I have the courage, I believe, to fight with everything; but I have not the courage to know anything; not the courage to possess, to own anything. Most people complain that the world is so prosaic, that life is not like romance, where opportunities are always so favorable. I complain that life is not like romance, where one had hard-hearted parents and nixies and trolls to fight, and enchanted princesses to free. What are all such enemies... Soren Kierkegaard
Plato quote: "Let parents then bequeath to their children not riches but the..."
Let parents then bequeath to their children not riches but the spirit of reverence. Plato
Maya Angelou quote: "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your..."
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. Maya Angelou
Mark Twain quote: "In Boston they ask, how much does he know? In New York, how..."
In Boston they ask, how much does he know? In New York, how much is he worth? In Philadelphia, who were his parents? Mark Twain
Having children is something we think we ought to do because our parents did it, but when it is over the children are just other members of the human race, rather disappointingly. John Updike
It looks as if the offspring have eyes so that they can see well (bad, teleological, backward causation), but that's an illusion. The offspring have eyes because their parents' eyes did see well (good, ordinary, forward causation). Steven Pinker
In family matters you can get over anything. That's one thing you'll learn as an adult. There's a lot you have to learn which is a lot worse than that. You'd never think of forgiving a friend for some of the things your parents did to you. But with friends it's different. Friends aren't the roll of the dice. Pat Conroy
Jodi Picoult quote: "In the English language there are orphans and widows, but..."
In the English language there are orphans and widows, but there is no word for the parents who loses a child. Jodi Picoult
I leave it to be settled, by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience. Jane Austen
