Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life. ~Herbert Asquith
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever. ~Don Marquis

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby
