Dad was at his desk when I opened the door, doing what all British people do when they’re freaked out: drinking tea.

People tell me I look like my father. I’ve never seen my dad, so does that mean I look invisible?

I couldn’t have pulled it off if you hadn’t have pulled out all those years ago. So thanks, dad.

The amount of time we give to something indicates it’s importance to us.

Let me say for now that we knew once the Creation was broken, true fathering would be much more lacking than mothering. Don’t misunderstand me, both are needed- but an emphasis on fathering is necessary...

The new version is slimmer, sleeker and definitely very popular for Dad.

My dad was my hero, … Whatever he did, I did.

My dad was born poor, made a fortune during his life, and then died suddenly—murdered by his only son, leaving his vast estate to a daughter I didn’t know he had.

We said no because we wanted to be with our dad.

Was it too much to expect the rest of the world to care about grammar or pay attention to details?

I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn’t have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up.

I don’t like to celebrate my birthday, because I don’t like taking credit for others’ work—in this case, my mom and dad. Or possibly my mom and the mailman.

When my children complain that I’m forgetful, I remind them that DAD is just ADD spelled sideways.

He’s great to talk to. He’s like my second dad.

We are all born free from all religious affiliations and only come to believe in such things after being introduced to it ― so, atheism is the default position. Although some children are not indoctrinated...

Love can make people do crazy things. I once saw a man streak down Blanding Blvd. with only a banana peel stapled over his manhood. I’m not sure he was in love, but he was...

With the sensation that he was passing through the Looking-Glass, Max stared at his father as if he had never seen him before—simultaneously impressed and unnerved at the thought that, after all these years, he...

His dad and him, all summer long, are in the gym two or three times a week working on his game. He stays after practice a good half hour to 45 minutes just on his...

More people are leaving TV behind to read my books than ever before. In the last year alone I gained over two readers (three, to be exact). So I’d like to take a moment and...

Mark is a very, very dedicated dad. In that sense, it didn’t come as a total surprise.

Your father doesn’t fucking play games. you would never come home with a shamrock tattoo in that house.

Me and my brother used to play on our driveway for the Stanley Cup all the time when we were kids. I was talking to my dad (Thursday). Now I’m here. This just adds to...

I’m older now than my dad was when he was my age. Wait, that’s not right. That’s not my dad at all, that’s just some stranger hanging around in my memory.

The memory slowly faded away. I could feel tears strolling down my snout from my eyes. I missed my father… He did what he could to save me that day.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad? No, that wasn’t it at all. Well, they did do that, perhaps, but they also allowed you to become the person, and the writer, that you had...

He touched the screen as if trying to reach through with his hand. “You’re a wonderful young lady. I don’t tell you that often enough. You remind me so much of your mother. She’d be...

Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows.

Dad.

Model the qualities that you want your children to show to each other.

He soon grew up seeing him be a hero, … He wanted to be just like his dad. A hero.

We fell in love like two medium pizzas in one large stomach. I wish dad would have saved a few slices for us.

She loved him, even though it was so hard to love anybody else after loving my dad. I think I knew this before she did.

In a proud fatherly sadomasicisticly way, I am thrilled when I get hit. As every deep purple bruise on my body represented a perfect swing. If I were to lift my shirt at any time...

There is no substitute for your impassioned prayers on behalf of your children

It made a big difference in my life to grow up with a dad who wasn’t afraid of how great my mom was.

Simple. I grew up a field-worker. My dad made 50 cents a day picking cotton in the San Joaquin Valley. I never thought I’d get to teach, never thought I’d get to coach, never thought...
