“It is the decease of the father which opens the prospect of one's own end, and affords an unobstructed view of the undug but awaiting grave that says 'you're next'.”
― Christopher Hitchens
“You can know a thing to death and be for all purposes completely ignorant of it. A man can know his father, or his son, and there might still be nothing between them but loyalty and love and mutual incomprehension.”
― Marilynne Robinson
"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection."
― Sigmund Freud
