Father Taken Son

More From Clifton Fadiman

You cannot show real respect to your parents by perpetuating their errors.... do you consider that the inventor of a steel plow cast a slur upon his father who scratched the ground with a wooden one? i do not consider that an invention by the son is a slander upon the father; i regard each invention simply as an improvement; and every father should be exceedingly proud of an ingenious son. if mr. talmage has a son, it will be impossible for him to honor his father except by differing with him.
Real Father Son
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

I went away and cried to the master of the universe, "what have you done to me? a mind like this i need for a son? a heart i need for a son, a soul i need for a son, compassion i want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that i want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"
Pain Heart Son
I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. i want to be respected in terms of the way that i treat people... music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value. and i wanna be respected for that.

This guitar is such a pal. it's a psychiatrist. it's a doggone bartender. it's a housewife. this guy is everything. whenever i find that i've got a problem, i'll go pick my guitar up and play. it's the greatest pal in the whole world.

All men have parties and are pals who never let each other down. a pal can say terrible things which are forgotten the next day. a pal never forgives, he just forgets, and a woman forgives but never forgets. that's how it is. that's why women aren't allowed to have parties. being forgiven is very unpleasant.

I worry about the kids who have too much. as a parent living in a so-called good neighborhood with children who went to private high school, i found myself spending much time in parent groups worrying about alcohol, unsupervised parties, and parents not being parents. we've got to send messages to our kids about what is important.
