Education is the best gift my parent gave me.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.

I’m not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

I used to think I’d be just like them when I grew up, but I am not. And the thing is, somewhere along the way, I stopped wanting to be like them, anyway.

Her mother admonished through closed lips, the sound a mother can make mean anything from “pick up your socks” to “we are very disappointed you have murdered those orphans.

The most incredible thing about being a parent is seeing your own personality come out in your children.

Honestly, I don’t know if I’d want to be an educator. I find teachers to have more responsibility, in a way, than being a parent. You’re molding hundreds of minds every year.

Everytime I hold you is the last time I hold you, I’ve known that since the very first time.

No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education.
