• "Fathers are men who give daughters away to other men who aren't nearly good enough...so they can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody's."
• "There's a bathroom in heaven for the father of girls."
• "When my father died and my two brothers and I sat down to talk about him, we discovered that we were talking about three different men - and I had never met the other two."
• "We are so peculiarly constituted that it is easier to be a large hero than a small martyr: a father would willingly risk his life to save his child from a burning building, but not give up his afternoon of golf to take the child to the zoo. Yet it is the small sacrifices, multiplied many times, that give love more meaning than the heroic gesture in a crisis."
