"A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model,
but most importantly, a distant authority figure
who can never be pleased."
—Stephen Colbert
"What was silent in the father speaks in the son,
and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father."
—Friedrich Nietzsche
"It doesn't matter who my father was;
it matters who I remember he was."
—Anne Sexton
