While restoring an old painting showing a woman and two men playing chess, Julia discovers the text "Who killed the knight" underneath the paint.

Despite the numerous deaths, it never manages to truly create great interest and suspense who did it.

Because of her very young age Beckinsale is not entirely convincing as an art restorer, but she looks very fetching with her short hair. But you feel bad noticing it because there's some gratious nudity and lots of groping of her by various male characters. At times the movie seems unsure if it wants to be taken seriously or going the camp route.

Side note, interestingly, a lot of the famous Barcelona buildings and places designed by Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner are used as backdrops for scenes, even interior ones, but they aren't introduced with wide shots to make full use of their visual value.

Nothing should surprise me when it comes to the BAFTAs, after all this is the same body that failed to nominate Richard Madden for his work on THE BODYGUARD, but I am surprised : both pleasantly and not so pleasantly. 

The good? Nominations for Callum Turner for THE CAPTURE and Will Sharpe for GIRI/HARI

But bewildered by the lack of nomination for fan favorite Andrew Scott for his role as (Hot) Priest in series two of FLEABAG.

MISS JULIE / ANDREWS meets The Marvelous MRS. MAISEL

“Kind of Bleu” (S3;E6) takes Midge’s agent Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) to Broadway to produce a revival of August Strindberg’s real 1888 play MISS JULIE starring Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch, above) as the title character. 

In an inspired bit of fact-meets-fiction storytelling, Myerson lands a theatre with the help of some well-connected tough guys, ousting Julie Andrews from her Barrymore Theatre dressing room. Although un-mentioned, the evicted show is the musical CAMELOT.  

Separating fact from fiction, CAMELOT (the music from which is heard in the background in a rehearsal hall scene earlier in the episode: “What Do the Simple Folk Do?”) actually opened on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre on December 1, 1960. It tried out in October in Canada, far from the lights of Broadway, in order to work on the show a healthy distance from the critical early-birds that plagued previews in Boston or New Haven when MY FAIR LADY was in embryo.  

A few episodes earlier, Christmas was being celebrated on the series, so fiction has compressed time - since it definitely does not look like mid-winter in the scene filmed on 47th Street. In 1960, the Ethel Barrymore housed several plays.  From mid-November to early December (when CAMELOT would have been loading in) the Barrymore housed THE HOSTAGE by Brendan Behan, the second of three theatres in its Broadway run. 

The marquee seen in the episode was added for the sake of the gag, and is not part of the theatre’s architecture, although is obviously filming at the actual Ethel Barrymore Theatre. In 1960, however, the theatre’s entryway had not yet been covered by the new sign bearing the name of the venue, as seen in this photo of a 1958 tenant LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL The vertical theatre sign was smaller and higher up on the building.  

Many of the characters on the series are amalgamations of real-life people living alongside historical figures (such as Lenny Bruce) and purely dramatic inventions. Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch) is strongly influenced by female character actors of the time, including Gertrude Berg, who also created a comical working class woman quite unlike herself.  

She had enormous success on Broadway and television in her creation “The Goldbergs”, winning a 1951 Emmy Award beating out theatrical legends Helen Hayes and Dame Judith Anderson. At the same time, movie star Lucille Ball was starting her own series where she also played a working class woman in a sitcom: “I Love Lucy,” a series often mentioned on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”  

Coincidentally, in early 1960, Gertrude Berg performed in the play A MAJORITY OF ONE at...The Ethel Barrymore Theatre!  

When Sophie and her co-star Gavin Hawk (Cary Elwes) are having loud sex in her dressing room, the director calls Susie to tell her that FLOWER DRUM SONG has complained about the noise!  The Rodgers and Hammerstein tuner played until May 7, 1960 at the St. James Theatre, located three blocks south of the Barrymore!  Coincidentally, the musical takes place in Chinatown, San Francisco, while a subplot of season 3 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has Midge’s ex-husband Joel opening a nightclub in Chinatown, New York.  

He adds that BYE BYE BIRDIE has called Equity - presumably also about the noise!  The show opened April 14, 1960 at the Martin Beck Theatre (now the Al Hirschfeld) located a bit closer to the Barrymore - just two blocks away.  This places the action of the episode from April 17 to May 7, 1960. Of course, the director was likely just being funny about the shows being disturbed by the love-making. But it does give a vivid verbal picture of Broadway in 1960.  

Curiously, although MISS JULIE had premiered on Broadway in 1913, there was a 1962 revival (just two years after the action of the episode) at the Cort Theatre performed in the original Swedish! 

In 2017, Tony Shalhoub, who plays Midge Maisel’s father Abe, performed at the Ethel Barrymore in THE BAND’S VISIT. Both the actor and the musical won Tony Awards. Cynthia Darlow (Mrs. Moskowitz) appeared at the Barrymore in Neil Simon’s RUMORS in 1988. Caroline Aaron (Shirley Maisel) was a standby for the comedy SOCIAL SECURITY at the Barrymore in 1986.

The impact of covid-19 on care homes

Care homes The impact of covid-19 on care homes

People in care homes are acutely vulnerable to the virus; little has been done to help protect them

Apr 18th 2020

IN EARLY MARCH a resident at Oaklands nursing home in Hove on the south coast of England caught covid-19 from a visiting relative. Though staff tried to isolate the patient, 14 residents had been infected before a test could be done. A number have now died, though staff at the home did not want to confirm how many.

Across Britain, thousands of care homes are now experiencing what Oaklands did in March. Ministers are nervous. Helen Whateley, the social-care minister, has said it is “almost unavoidable” that the virus will spread further in care homes. On April 15th the government promised more tests would be available for care workers. Yet much of the sector is still acutely underprepared. And certain government decisions seem almost certain to accelerate the spread.

There are roughly 11,300 care homes in Britain that look after the elderly, with some 410,000 residents, many suffering from dementia. These people are acutely vulnerable to covid-19. According to Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, one in seven care homes in the country has already had a confirmed case. Since testing has been limited, the true figure may be higher. Sir David Behan, the director of HC-One, one of the biggest care groups in the country, told the BBC that the virus had infected people in two-thirds of the group’s 329 homes. There are scant data for Britain as a whole, but in Scotland a quarter of cases are in care homes.

Although the government has poured resources into Britain’s National Health Service, Britain’s care homes are mostly small private businesses and have been left to deal with the crisis themselves. Some patients’ fees are paid by local authorities, but the bulk of care homes’ revenue comes from fees paid by patients or their families. Even at the best of times, staff shortages are endemic, points out Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the National Care Association, an industry group. Despite doing difficult and valuable work, such as bathing and cleaning infirm people, the majority of care-home workers are paid the minimum wage or only a little above it. Budgets have been squeezed for years.

The government has not yet banned care-home workers from working in several homes, even though they could carry the virus between them, notes Peter Kyle, the Labour MP for Hove and Portslade. Money has been made available—about £2.9bn—through local authorities, but care homes say they have not been able to gain access to it. Most homes have each been sent 300 masks by the government, but that is a fraction of what is needed if they are used properly (and the guidance has been confusing). Getting more is next to impossible. “You go to your normal suppliers and they say that the NHS has commandeered the lot,” says the manager of one care home in Birmingham which has been hit badly. Eventually the home started making its own kit, putting new air filters into reusable masks.

Those that have not yet been hit are awaiting the worst. Sandra Stinton, the manager of Grange Rest Home in Hove, says if the virus gets into her care home “it’s going to be our worst nightmare”. Already she is refusing to take patients discharged from hospitals, as she cannot be sure they have not been infected. She has been informed that she will have to prepare end-of-life palliative care, but she has no medical staff or equipment to provide it. “I haven’t got a problem supporting dying people…but how are you going to offer pain management?” she asks.

Mr Kyle thinks that the government’s poor response is the consequence not so much of a policy choice as of disorganisation. Ms Whateley does not attend cabinet meetings. The health secretary, Matt Hancock, who does, has plenty to deal with trying to manage the impact of the virus on hospitals. “The whole system hasn’t been working properly for a very long time,” says Sally Copley of the Alzheimer’s Society, a charity. That failure may now cost the lives of thousands of people. Even after the virus recedes, the need for reform will only be more apparent.■

Trade wares for wares and trudge from pole to pole, So others may say when you are dead and gone. See what a vast estate he left his son. – John Dryden • Go on daddy-daughter dates and father-and-sons’ outings with your children.

I’m not trying to bust you over the head and make you buy this record or this song or whatever. I’m presenting it to you so you can take it in. You know, it’s like trying to force a kid to eat broccoli. If I present it as trees that make your muscles grow, my son is like, ‘I’m down with getting muscles.’ – Jill Scott • I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I’ve had. I was just writing stories for my own sons. – Rick Riordan • I gave birth to my first son in April 1986. I thought it would be a good goal to get back in shape after having a baby if I ran the New York City Marathon. I ran in it November 1986. I had just shot the ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit issue, so I was in great shape. – Kim Alexis • I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is until my son started school, and as much as he loves it, he swoons at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly, laid out like a gift. – Susan Orlean • I had the experience last year of directing my first feature while I had a 1-year-old son and while I was also pregnant, so I am now well aware of the difficulties women who are rearing children face when they’re also trying to make headway in mainstream of film. – Diablo Cody • I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works. – Suzanne Somers • I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son’s school so they know I’m not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from ‘The View.’ Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on. – Sherri Shepherd • I have one son. Of everything I’ve done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you. – Barbra Streisand • I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I’ll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn’t wait for the day I’d be able to make music with my son. I don’t know what more I could ask for. – Eddie Van Halen • I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I’ve had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn’t been dull; I’ve been the Hiroshima of love. – Sylvester Stallone • I have two sons, ages 23 and 25, and know that parents need to listen more and speak less. Young people today don’t always know what’s going on or how they fit in, and if someone walks up to them and says, ‘Hey, kid: If you listen to me I’ll give you power and a sense of purpose,’ it can hold tremendous appeal. – Christian Picciolini • I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son’s school tuition in Los Angeles. – Diablo Cody • I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren’t there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism? – Jenny McCarthy • I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn’t want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don’t answer. – Arsenio Hall • I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He’s my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, “I’ll tell you what. I’m going to make it real simple for you. I’m going to send my Son. He’s going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He’s gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you’ve got to do is accept that. – Smokey Robinson • I listen to music every day and that is a fact. My son pointed out the other day that there’s not a day that goes by without him listening to music in our house. I’m still an avid punter when it comes to either checking out bands or buying new music. – Jazzie B • I look and there’s our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re brothers and sisters and it’s a sight for elation. – Brad Pitt • I look at my sons’ little faces, and I want to be their superhero. I don’t want them to have to look outside to a third party for a hero, for someone to look up to and admire. I want that to be ME. I want that person to be MOMMY for them. – Lashinda Demus • I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me. – Michael Rapaport • I love my son and am proud of my son. – Robert H. Schuller • I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. – Harrison Ford • I loved it, it’s such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. – John Adams • I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was. – James Brown • I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I’ll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads. – James Caan • I often think about how my sons will come to know about September 11th. Something overheard? A newspaper image? In school? I would prefer that they learn about it from my wife and me, in a deliberate and safe way. But it’s hard to imagine ever feeling ready to broach the subject without some impetus. – Jonathan Safran Foer • I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He’s only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza. – Jill Scott • I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid. – Kim Alexis • I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there. – Sarah Jessica Parker • I saw this film Moon, it’s directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie’s son. Sam Rockwell plays this astronaut that is stuck in a space station on the moon. You just have to see it. It’s easy to do something really cheesy with sci-fi, and to do something that’s already been done, but I think the story was something I hadn’t heard before, so it was really great. – Kelcey Ayer • I take some pride in… representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I think if you’re the son or daughter of successful actors and actresses, it’s a double pressure. More is expected of you. – Liam Neeson • I think I’m lucky that I had kids as spread out as much as I did, ’cause my son, my oldest, was born when I was 21. And my youngest is 15 now. He was born when I was 40, you know? – Tom Hanks • I think it’s irresponsible when celebrities imply they’re doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He’s really full-on. I couldn’t do it any other way. – Alanis Morissette • I think these last 10 years have seen just a huge shift in the psyche of this country as regards gay people. I think AIDS had a lot to do with it. So many families who really believed they’d ‘never met one’ were suddenly confronted with their sons becoming ill, and friends of sons. I think that brought a lot of it into the open. – Janis Ian • I took my son’s name. I didn’t take my husband’s name. – Elizabeth Edwards • I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They’re there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I’m definitely not a single parent. – Jill Scott • I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn’t do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you’re done, don’t make your hobby your job. – Eric Bana • I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up – blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff. – John Tesh • I was a sort of son to Ike, and it was the other way round with Kennedy. – Harold MacMillan • I was born and trained to communicate music, just as the sons were born and trained to hunt, and I was lucky to have grown up in Hungary, a country that lives and breathes music-that has a passionate belief in the power of music as a celebration of life. – Georg Solti • I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid. – Diane von Furstenberg • I work at home, in the country, and days will go by when, except for my husband and son and the occasional UPS man, the only sentient creatures that see me are my chickens and turkeys. – Susan Orlean • I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar. – Andrew Carnegie • I would like to be on the farm. To ride the horses. To watch the cattle, and the plantations, and the beautiful vegetables that my sons are growing there. I would like it. I am one of those who do not have to worry about what I am doing later. I love the fields. – Ariel Sharon • I’d been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed. – Britt Ekland • I’d just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead. – Moby • If my kids came to me and said, ‘I’m gay,’ I’d say, ‘Son, I love you.’ That’s never at stake. Never, never, never at stake. – Kirk Cameron • If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. – James A. Baldwin • If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what’s more, you’ll be a man, my son. – Rudyard Kipling • If you’re feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There’s nothing you can do, to change His love for you; hold on friend, it’s not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say ‘Well done.’ But until then, until then, you’re not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He’ll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, ‘You are mine.’ – Nick Vujicic • If you’re going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you’re tearing down someone else’s hero. You’re tearing down somebody else’s son. You might have to face her one day. – Kevin Costner • I’m a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He’s surrounded by love. – Christina Aguilera • I’m a strange mixture of my mother’s curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother’s father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts. – Rupert Murdoch • I’m convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know. – Redd Foxx • I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way. – Sarah Palin • I’m not an analyzer. I’ve got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don’t analyze people. – Billy Graham • I’m so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family. – Celine Dion • In Korea, it’s a tradition to inherit your father’s business. Unfortunately, I’m the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much. – PSY • In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin. – Danny DeVito • It has never made any sense to argue that, unique among the people of the world, Arabs are more concerned on a day-to-day basis about the treatment of people they don’t know than they are about how they’re going to put food on their own tables, or whether their sons will ever find a job. – John Podhoretz • It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. – Gertrude Stein • It is no secret that I believe my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, would make a great United States senator – just as I believe he has been a great attorney general. But Beau has made it clear from the moment he entered public life, that any office he sought, he would earn on his own. – Joe Biden • It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons. – Friedrich Schiller • It is what the poets of Ireland used to be saying, that every brave man, good at fighting, and every man that could do great deeds and not be making much talk about them, was of the Sons of the Gael; and that every skilled man that had music and that did enchantments secretly, was of the Tuatha de Danaan. – Lady Gregory • It was at Inver Slane, to the north of Leinster, the sons of Gaedhal of the Shining Armour, the Very Gentle, that were called afterwards the Sons of the Gael, made their first attempt to land in Ireland to avenge Ith, one of their race that had come there one time and had met with his death. – Lady Gregory • It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’ – Sam Levenson • It’s hard to kill that father-son bond. – Adam Driver • It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself. – George H. W. Bush • It’s particularly important as parents in our conversations with our daughters and our sons to consider ideas intimate justice when we talk about and set them going on their early formative experience. – Peggy Orenstein • I’ve been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, ‘what’s your advice?’ first I say, ‘be born the son of a famous director. It’s invaluable.’ – Jason Reitman • I’ve lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point. – Liz Phair • I’ve started looking at my own father a bit funny. He assures me, though, that I really am the son of a Scottish postman. – Craig Ferguson • I’ve taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire ‘Dora the Explorer’ soundtrack. – Sherri Shepherd • Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don’t know about categorising them in terms of class; I’m a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder. – Tom Hiddleston • Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. – Napoleon Bonaparte • Losing hope means ceasing to love my son and my girlfriend and many friends and people around the world. We in Iraq have not descended from another planet. Just as people in many other countries have gotten over the tragedy of war, Iraq will get over its ordeal. I’m talking about the essence of humanity. Hope is mixed into the blood of every human being, everywhere and in every time. – Hassan Blasim • Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie’s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women. – Kid Rock • Mom put a note in my lunch again, I see… Dear son, I hope you will study hard in summer school… Do not look upon it as a punishment, but rather as a privilege… We are very proud of you, and want you to have a good education. This note will self-destruct in five seconds. – Charles M. Schulz • Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son. – Chris Christie • More than anything, it’s my son’s smile and love that makes me light up! – Amber Valletta • Most people define themselves by what they do – ‘I’m a musician.’ Then one day it occurred to me that I’m only a musician when I’m playing music – or writing music, or talking about music. I don’t do that 24 hours a day. I’m also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen – I mean, when I go to vote, I’m not thinking of myself as ‘a musician.’ – Herbie Hancock • Mumford & Sons’ music appeals to a lot of America. I’m really proud of them. – Ellie Goulding • My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese. – Jackie Chan • My book ‘Trust Your Heart’, which is the story of my life, will be followed by ‘Singing Lessons’, a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy. – Judy Collins • My father was against the death penalty, and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty. – Andrew Cuomo • My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America’s strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. – Ernest Istook • ‘My Father’s Eyes’ is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father’s eyes was when I looked into my son’s eyes. – Eric Clapton • My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin – Binyamin – the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there’s been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. – Benjamin Netanyahu • My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War. – Mikhail Baryshnikov • My NFL pension can barely pay my son’s tuition. You know, it’s very little money. – O. J. Simpson • My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son. – Farrah Fawcett • My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they’re not one of them. – Sherri Shepherd • My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I’ve had all four of his kids on the show. – Dick Van Dyke • My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first! – Henny Youngman • My son doesn’t know how flawed I am, how flawed we are. He still likes us so much, and that’s so incredible to be around. – Sarah Jessica Parker • My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also. – George Strait • My son is actually named after Beck, the musician. We heard Beck on the radio and thought that was a good nickname for a child. We named our son Beckett so we could call him Beck – we reverse engineered. And then after he was born and I saw the name on the birth certificate I realized Beckett was a really pretentious name, way too literary. Luckily he’s grown into it. We nearly named my second son Dashiell. Can you imagine? Beckett and Dashiell. It would have been a disaster of pretentiousness. – Lauren Groff • My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me. – Christina Aguilera • My son is so fortunate, you know. He’s always going to have food. Yes, my children are going to be privileged, but that’s why it’s so important for them to see different realities and to travel, and they do already. – Gisele Bundchen • My son is trying to be a sports writer, and my daughter is a college student. She wants to be a comedy writer, and she’s at film school. I discouraged both of them early on from getting involved in Starbucks. I didn’t think it would be fair; plus, they didn’t have any interest anyway. – Howard Schultz • My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France. – Diane von Furstenberg • My son was diagnosed with autism. He’s OK, he makes eye contact, but he doesn’t talk. He needs eight hours a day of very intensive school, and you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you how much it costs. – Steve Earle • My son, George, has been a bad, bad boy! Right, George? – Barbara Bush • My son, Jett, is two, and when I was pregnant my nose got bigger, so I got a new one. Everything was bigger for a while after having Jet, but I knew I needed to be able to walk up my stairs without being winded. It took me two years to lose 60 lbs – lots of walking, bike-riding, kick-boxing and performing. – Jill Scott • My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass. – Eddie Van Halen

• My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field. – Snoop Dogg • Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Soren Kierkegaard • Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. – George Bernard Shaw • No love is greater than that of a father for His son. – Dan Brown • No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles. – Marco Rubio • No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. – Ronald Reagan • Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson. – Kelly Clarkson • One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. – George Herbert • One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? – James Caan • Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother! – Honore de Balzac • Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes. – Salman Rushdie • ‘Project Runway’ was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing. – Debra Messing • Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. – Denis Leary • Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate. – Thomas Guthrie • Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. – Ezra Taft Benson • Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. – Victor Hugo • Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant. – Casey Stengel • Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers. – Aldous Huxley • Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God. – Henri Nouwen • That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. – Mitt Romney • That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. – Lauryn Hill • The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. – Bob Uecker • The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore. – Matt Groening • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after. It’s a collector’s item and came with a case and a stand and everything. – Josh Turner • The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat. – Robert Frost • The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them. – Confucius • The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. – Voltaire • The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring. – Robertson Davies • The monarchy that I hand over to my son is not going to be the same one that I have inherited. – Abdallah II • The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the Native American shared this elemental ethic: The land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures. – Stewart Udall • The only man who has stolen my heart is my son. – Sandra Bullock • The Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus. – Luke Ford • The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory. – George Eliot • The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one. – John Dryden • The worst waste of breath, next to playing a saxophone, is advising a son – Kin Hubbard • There’s no political point worth my son’s life. – Joe Biden • Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor’s son to marry. – Elizabeth I • To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we’re elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House. – Sarah Palin • Today, Arizona’s sons and daughters, mothers and fathers are proudly serving their country. – Jane D. Hull • We glorify the Holy Ghost together with the Father and the Son, from the conviction that He is not separated from the Divine Nature; for that which is foreign by nature does not share in the same honors. – Saint Basil • We often don’t think of them, we think of the great wars and the great battles, but what about losing a son or a daughter, or a girl losing her husband or vice versa? I think of the people who never got the chance to have the opportunities I had. – Tony Curtis • We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so. – Alexander Pope • Well the beauty of ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ is that men are in every show. To our surprise, some of the deepest healing demonstrations have been with the men – the sons, the fathers, the husbands – because they agree to participate with the wife or the daughter or whatever it is we are looking at, and it is there. – Iyanla Vanzant • We’re all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way. – Gordon B. Hinckley • We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. – Gloria Steinem • What I did was take the Jesus of the Gospels, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary, and sought to make Him utterly believable, a vital breathing character. – Anne Rice • What I wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see I’ve written some other books that I really would like people to notice. There’s The Man Who Folded Himself, there’s The Martian Child, which is about my son and the adoption. There’s The War Against The Chtorr, which is my magnum opus, my great epic story. – David Gerrold • 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 • What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes – ah, they have all the necessary leisure. – Aldous Huxley • When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry. – William Shakespeare • When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said ‘Are you sure you’re Ellis’s son?’ – Wynton Marsalis • When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me. – Joel Osteen • When I started, with films like ‘The Bay Boy’ and ‘Stand by Me’, I look back on those interviews and I’m amazed; there’s no mention of my father; it’s not even ‘son of Donald Sutherland.’ I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me. – Kiefer Sutherland • When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn’t pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing. – Barbra Streisand • When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn’t the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror. – Susan Orlean • When we adopt—and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities—we’re picturing something that’s true about our God. We, like Jesus, see what our Father is doing and do likewise (John 5:19). And what our Father is doing, it turns out, is fighting for orphans, making them sons and daughters. – Russell D. Moore • When you become an instrument in God’s hands as He transfers someone from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, you make a difference in the person’s eternal destiny. Not only that, but Satan also receives a devastating blow. – Charles Stanley • With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy. – Pietro Aretino • With sons and fathers, there’s an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you. – Brad Pitt • Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I’ve ever met. Son of Sam is a close second. – Geezer Butler • Women and LBGT people have the advantage that they are everybody’s son, daughter, cousin, nephew, aunt, uncle. They are in a position to change hearts, and you saw it happen actually. African-Americans, not so much. They are separated from the white oppressive population by geography, housing, segregation, centuries of slavery. There is a tremendous wall between black America and white. I would say you open the door with the force of law, and then you can start to change hearts. – Linda Hirshman • You can love someone like your son, even if he’s not your biological son, and you can love someone like your father, even if he’s not your biological father. – Oliver Hudson • You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes. – Wally Schirra • You know what has made me the happiest I’ve ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing. – Gil Scott-Heron • You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen. – Jean-Paul Sartre • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. – Khalil Gibran • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. – Khalil Gibran • Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up. – Hasdai ibn Shaprut • Your sons weren’t made to like you.

He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son. – Levon Helm • A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma. – Marlene Dietrich • A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It’s actually the opposite of that. It’s realizing that we’re all humans, and that’s why God sent his Son to this earth – to save people. – Billy Ray Cyrus • A man who says that no patriot should attack the Boer War until it is over is not worth answering intelligently; he is saying that no good son should warn his mother off a cliff until she has fallen over it. – Gilbert K.

There were questions that I did not know how to ask but could, in my young, unsophisticated way, articulate a series of answers. – John Henrik Clarke • As the son of a feminist mother, I grew up with the idea that work was a sort of salvation for women as it would give them freedom from the domestic grind. Now it seems work is a form of slavery, undertaken out of apparent compulsion rather than choice. – Tom Hodgkinson • As we were baptized, so we profess our belief. As we profess our belief, so also we offer praise. As then baptism has been given us by the Savior, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, so, in accordance with our baptism, we make the confession of the creed, and our doxology in accordance with our creed. – Saint Basil • Asking me to describe my son is like asking me to hold the ocean in a paper cup – Jodi Picoult

We are looking to create a replicable model that can help bring good nutrition to all children. – Cat Cora • Father was the eldest son and the heir apparent, and he set the standard for being a Rockefeller very high, so every achievement was taken for granted and perfection was the norm. – David Rockefeller • Fathers and sons are much more considerate of one another than mothers and daughters. – Friedrich Nietzsche • Fifty percent of all meaningful education takes place in the home. What do you share with your child? You share your interests. I was a book person. I read with my son. My wife is an artist. She dragged his little butt around to museums. He’s an illustrator of children’s books. – Walter Dean Myers • Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err. – Euripides • Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up. – Francis Ford Coppola • Freud was the son of a Jewish merchant who had to move his whole family to Vienna because he couldn’t get work. He, as a boy, had to watch his father be mocked and abused on the street for being Jewish… You develop a thick skin and you develop a certain kind of wit to defend yourself. – Viggo Mortensen • From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s Will in all things.

Trade wares for wares and trudge from pole to pole, So others may say when you are dead and gone. See what a vast estate he left his son. – John Dryden • Go on daddy-daughter dates and father-and-sons’ outings with your children.

Having Dad there makes all the difference. – Ezra Taft Benson • God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering. – Saint Augustine • God the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present; indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent – it extends through all space, with all other matter. – Orson Pratt • Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged. – Louisa May Alcott • How can my son not be straight after all I’ve said and done for him? – Rod Stewart • I am a lover.

Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be. – Jean-Paul Sartre • I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis. – Phil Collins • I blend my green drink every morning.

But I belong to none of them. – Amin Maalouf • I did as much as I could in Vancouver. You can only play so many ex-‘Falcon Crest’ sons in so many movies of the week before you burn out. – Ryan Reynolds • I didn’t see my son the entire time I did ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ The only time I saw Jeffrey was when he came to the show Monday and Tuesday nights to watch me dance. You literally rehearse six to eight hours every single day – 40 to 50 hours a week. – Sherri Shepherd • I don’t believe Jesus was the son of God, although I’m inclined to think he might have been a great prophet. – Damian Lewis • I don’t want to force anything on anyone. I’m not trying to bust you over the head and make you buy this record or this song or whatever. I’m presenting it to you so you can take it in. You know, it’s like trying to force a kid to eat broccoli. If I present it as trees that make your muscles grow, my son is like, ‘I’m down with getting muscles.’ – Jill Scott • I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I’ve had. I was just writing stories for my own sons. – Rick Riordan • I gave birth to my first son in April 1986. I thought it would be a good goal to get back in shape after having a baby if I ran the New York City Marathon. I ran in it November 1986. I had just shot the ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit issue, so I was in great shape. – Kim Alexis • I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is until my son started school, and as much as he loves it, he swoons at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly, laid out like a gift. – Susan Orlean • I had the experience last year of directing my first feature while I had a 1-year-old son and while I was also pregnant, so I am now well aware of the difficulties women who are rearing children face when they’re also trying to make headway in mainstream of film. – Diablo Cody • I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works. – Suzanne Somers • I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son’s school so they know I’m not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from ‘The View.’ Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on. – Sherri Shepherd • I have one son. Of everything I’ve done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you. – Barbra Streisand • I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I’ll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn’t wait for the day I’d be able to make music with my son. I don’t know what more I could ask for. – Eddie Van Halen • I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I’ve had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn’t been dull; I’ve been the Hiroshima of love. – Sylvester Stallone • I have two sons, ages 23 and 25, and know that parents need to listen more and speak less. Young people today don’t always know what’s going on or how they fit in, and if someone walks up to them and says, ‘Hey, kid: If you listen to me I’ll give you power and a sense of purpose,’ it can hold tremendous appeal. – Christian Picciolini • I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son’s school tuition in Los Angeles. – Diablo Cody • I know children regress after vaccination because it happened to my own son. Why aren’t there any tests out there on the safety of how vaccines are administered in the real world, six at a time? Why have only two of the 36 shots our kids receive been looked at for their relationship to autism? – Jenny McCarthy • I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn’t want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don’t answer. – Arsenio Hall • I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He’s my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, “I’ll tell you what. I’m going to make it real simple for you. I’m going to send my Son. He’s going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He’s gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you’ve got to do is accept that. – Smokey Robinson • I listen to music every day and that is a fact. My son pointed out the other day that there’s not a day that goes by without him listening to music in our house. I’m still an avid punter when it comes to either checking out bands or buying new music. – Jazzie B • I look and there’s our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they’re brothers and sisters, man. They’re brothers and sisters and it’s a sight for elation. – Brad Pitt • I look at my sons’ little faces, and I want to be their superhero. I don’t want them to have to look outside to a third party for a hero, for someone to look up to and admire. I want that to be ME. I want that person to be MOMMY for them. – Lashinda Demus • I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me. – Michael Rapaport • I love my son and am proud of my son. – Robert H. Schuller • I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship. – Harrison Ford • I loved it, it’s such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. – John Adams • I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was. – James Brown • I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I’ll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads. – James Caan • I often think about how my sons will come to know about September 11th. Something overheard? A newspaper image? In school? I would prefer that they learn about it from my wife and me, in a deliberate and safe way. But it’s hard to imagine ever feeling ready to broach the subject without some impetus. – Jonathan Safran Foer • I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He’s only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza. – Jill Scott • I really discovered I had thyroid disease by accident. My son was having some health concerns, and as I filled out his patient history I noticed I had a lot of similar symptoms. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he ran blood work and finally an ultrasound of my thyroid. – Kim Alexis • I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there. – Sarah Jessica Parker • I saw this film Moon, it’s directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie’s son. Sam Rockwell plays this astronaut that is stuck in a space station on the moon. You just have to see it. It’s easy to do something really cheesy with sci-fi, and to do something that’s already been done, but I think the story was something I hadn’t heard before, so it was really great. – Kelcey Ayer • I take some pride in… representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids. – Robert Downey, Jr. • I think if you’re the son or daughter of successful actors and actresses, it’s a double pressure. More is expected of you. – Liam Neeson • I think I’m lucky that I had kids as spread out as much as I did, ’cause my son, my oldest, was born when I was 21. And my youngest is 15 now. He was born when I was 40, you know? – Tom Hanks • I think it’s irresponsible when celebrities imply they’re doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He’s really full-on. I couldn’t do it any other way. – Alanis Morissette • I think these last 10 years have seen just a huge shift in the psyche of this country as regards gay people. I think AIDS had a lot to do with it. So many families who really believed they’d ‘never met one’ were suddenly confronted with their sons becoming ill, and friends of sons. I think that brought a lot of it into the open. – Janis Ian • I took my son’s name. I didn’t take my husband’s name. – Elizabeth Edwards • I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They’re there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I’m definitely not a single parent. – Jill Scott • I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn’t do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you’re done, don’t make your hobby your job. – Eric Bana • I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up – blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff. – John Tesh • I was a sort of son to Ike, and it was the other way round with Kennedy. – Harold MacMillan • I was born and trained to communicate music, just as the sons were born and trained to hunt, and I was lucky to have grown up in Hungary, a country that lives and breathes music-that has a passionate belief in the power of music as a celebration of life. – Georg Solti • I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid. – Diane von Furstenberg • I work at home, in the country, and days will go by when, except for my husband and son and the occasional UPS man, the only sentient creatures that see me are my chickens and turkeys. – Susan Orlean • I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar. – Andrew Carnegie • I would like to be on the farm. To ride the horses. To watch the cattle, and the plantations, and the beautiful vegetables that my sons are growing there. I would like it. I am one of those who do not have to worry about what I am doing later. I love the fields. – Ariel Sharon • I’d been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed. – Britt Ekland • I’d just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead. – Moby • If my kids came to me and said, ‘I’m gay,’ I’d say, ‘Son, I love you.’ That’s never at stake. Never, never, never at stake. – Kirk Cameron • If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons. – James A. Baldwin • If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what’s more, you’ll be a man, my son. – Rudyard Kipling • If you’re feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There’s nothing you can do, to change His love for you; hold on friend, it’s not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say ‘Well done.’ But until then, until then, you’re not alone. He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He’ll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, ‘You are mine.’ – Nick Vujicic • If you’re going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you’re tearing down someone else’s hero. You’re tearing down somebody else’s son. You might have to face her one day. – Kevin Costner • I’m a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He’s surrounded by love. – Christina Aguilera • I’m a strange mixture of my mother’s curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother’s father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts. – Rupert Murdoch • I’m convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know. – Redd Foxx • I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way. – Sarah Palin • I’m not an analyzer. I’ve got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don’t analyze people. – Billy Graham • I’m so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family. – Celine Dion • In Korea, it’s a tradition to inherit your father’s business. Unfortunately, I’m the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much. – PSY • In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin. – Danny DeVito • It has never made any sense to argue that, unique among the people of the world, Arabs are more concerned on a day-to-day basis about the treatment of people they don’t know than they are about how they’re going to put food on their own tables, or whether their sons will ever find a job. – John Podhoretz • It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. – Gertrude Stein • It is no secret that I believe my son, Attorney General Beau Biden, would make a great United States senator – just as I believe he has been a great attorney general. But Beau has made it clear from the moment he entered public life, that any office he sought, he would earn on his own. – Joe Biden • It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons. – Friedrich Schiller • It is what the poets of Ireland used to be saying, that every brave man, good at fighting, and every man that could do great deeds and not be making much talk about them, was of the Sons of the Gael; and that every skilled man that had music and that did enchantments secretly, was of the Tuatha de Danaan. – Lady Gregory • It was at Inver Slane, to the north of Leinster, the sons of Gaedhal of the Shining Armour, the Very Gentle, that were called afterwards the Sons of the Gael, made their first attempt to land in Ireland to avenge Ith, one of their race that had come there one time and had met with his death. – Lady Gregory • It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’ – Sam Levenson • It’s hard to kill that father-son bond. – Adam Driver • It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself. – George H. W. Bush • It’s particularly important as parents in our conversations with our daughters and our sons to consider ideas intimate justice when we talk about and set them going on their early formative experience. – Peggy Orenstein • I’ve been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, ‘what’s your advice?’ first I say, ‘be born the son of a famous director. It’s invaluable.’ – Jason Reitman • I’ve lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point. – Liz Phair • I’ve started looking at my own father a bit funny. He assures me, though, that I really am the son of a Scottish postman. – Craig Ferguson • I’ve taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire ‘Dora the Explorer’ soundtrack. – Sherri Shepherd • Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don’t know about categorising them in terms of class; I’m a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder. – Tom Hiddleston • Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. – Napoleon Bonaparte • Losing hope means ceasing to love my son and my girlfriend and many friends and people around the world. We in Iraq have not descended from another planet. Just as people in many other countries have gotten over the tragedy of war, Iraq will get over its ordeal. I’m talking about the essence of humanity. Hope is mixed into the blood of every human being, everywhere and in every time. – Hassan Blasim • Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie’s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women. – Kid Rock • Mom put a note in my lunch again, I see… Dear son, I hope you will study hard in summer school… Do not look upon it as a punishment, but rather as a privilege… We are very proud of you, and want you to have a good education. This note will self-destruct in five seconds. – Charles M. Schulz • Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children, her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth, bluntly, directly, and without much varnish. I am her son. – Chris Christie • More than anything, it’s my son’s smile and love that makes me light up! – Amber Valletta • Most people define themselves by what they do – ‘I’m a musician.’ Then one day it occurred to me that I’m only a musician when I’m playing music – or writing music, or talking about music. I don’t do that 24 hours a day. I’m also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen – I mean, when I go to vote, I’m not thinking of myself as ‘a musician.’ – Herbie Hancock • Mumford & Sons’ music appeals to a lot of America. I’m really proud of them. – Ellie Goulding • My affection for Taiwan… is witnessed by everyone. My wife is Taiwanese and I am a son-in-law of Taiwan. I am half Taiwanese. – Jackie Chan • My book ‘Trust Your Heart’, which is the story of my life, will be followed by ‘Singing Lessons’, a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy. – Judy Collins • My father was against the death penalty, and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty. – Andrew Cuomo • My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America’s strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. – Ernest Istook • ‘My Father’s Eyes’ is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father’s eyes was when I looked into my son’s eyes. – Eric Clapton • My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin – Binyamin – the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there’s been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. – Benjamin Netanyahu • My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War. – Mikhail Baryshnikov • My NFL pension can barely pay my son’s tuition. You know, it’s very little money. – O. J. Simpson • My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son. – Farrah Fawcett • My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they’re not one of them. – Sherri Shepherd • My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I’ve had all four of his kids on the show. – Dick Van Dyke • My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first! – Henny Youngman • My son doesn’t know how flawed I am, how flawed we are. He still likes us so much, and that’s so incredible to be around. – Sarah Jessica Parker • My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also. – George Strait • My son is actually named after Beck, the musician. We heard Beck on the radio and thought that was a good nickname for a child. We named our son Beckett so we could call him Beck – we reverse engineered. And then after he was born and I saw the name on the birth certificate I realized Beckett was a really pretentious name, way too literary. Luckily he’s grown into it. We nearly named my second son Dashiell. Can you imagine? Beckett and Dashiell. It would have been a disaster of pretentiousness. – Lauren Groff • My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me. – Christina Aguilera • My son is so fortunate, you know. He’s always going to have food. Yes, my children are going to be privileged, but that’s why it’s so important for them to see different realities and to travel, and they do already. – Gisele Bundchen • My son is trying to be a sports writer, and my daughter is a college student. She wants to be a comedy writer, and she’s at film school. I discouraged both of them early on from getting involved in Starbucks. I didn’t think it would be fair; plus, they didn’t have any interest anyway. – Howard Schultz • My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France. – Diane von Furstenberg • My son was diagnosed with autism. He’s OK, he makes eye contact, but he doesn’t talk. He needs eight hours a day of very intensive school, and you wouldn’t even believe me if I told you how much it costs. – Steve Earle • My son, George, has been a bad, bad boy! Right, George? – Barbara Bush • My son, Jett, is two, and when I was pregnant my nose got bigger, so I got a new one. Everything was bigger for a while after having Jet, but I knew I needed to be able to walk up my stairs without being winded. It took me two years to lose 60 lbs – lots of walking, bike-riding, kick-boxing and performing. – Jill Scott • My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass. – Eddie Van Halen

• My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field. – Snoop Dogg • Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Soren Kierkegaard • Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. – George Bernard Shaw • No love is greater than that of a father for His son. – Dan Brown • No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles. – Marco Rubio • No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. – Ronald Reagan • Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson. – Kelly Clarkson • One father is enough to govern one hundred sons, but not a hundred sons one father. – George Herbert • One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? – James Caan • Our most bitter enemies are our own kith and kin. Kings have no brothers, no sons, no mother! – Honore de Balzac • Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes. – Salman Rushdie • ‘Project Runway’ was my guilty pleasure while my son was napping or nursing. – Debra Messing • Racism isn’t born, folks, it’s taught. I have a two-year-old son. You know what he hates? Naps! End of list. – Denis Leary • Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate. – Thomas Guthrie • Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. – Ezra Taft Benson • Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars. – Victor Hugo • Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant. – Casey Stengel • Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers. – Aldous Huxley • Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God. – Henri Nouwen • That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. – Mitt Romney • That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. – Lauryn Hill • The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. – Bob Uecker • The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore. – Matt Groening • The coolest gift I’ve ever gotten from a fan was from the Franklin Mint. It was a knife, and it had a picture of General Wade Hampton, who my oldest son is named after. It’s a collector’s item and came with a case and a stand and everything. – Josh Turner • The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat. – Robert Frost • The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them. – Confucius • The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. – Voltaire • The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring. – Robertson Davies • The monarchy that I hand over to my son is not going to be the same one that I have inherited. – Abdallah II • The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the Native American shared this elemental ethic: The land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures. – Stewart Udall • The only man who has stolen my heart is my son. – Sandra Bullock • The Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus. – Luke Ford • The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory. – George Eliot • The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one. – John Dryden • The worst waste of breath, next to playing a saxophone, is advising a son – Kin Hubbard • There’s no political point worth my son’s life. – Joe Biden • Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor’s son to marry. – Elizabeth I • To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we’re elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House. – Sarah Palin • Today, Arizona’s sons and daughters, mothers and fathers are proudly serving their country. – Jane D. Hull • We glorify the Holy Ghost together with the Father and the Son, from the conviction that He is not separated from the Divine Nature; for that which is foreign by nature does not share in the same honors. – Saint Basil • We often don’t think of them, we think of the great wars and the great battles, but what about losing a son or a daughter, or a girl losing her husband or vice versa? I think of the people who never got the chance to have the opportunities I had. – Tony Curtis • We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so. – Alexander Pope • Well the beauty of ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ is that men are in every show. To our surprise, some of the deepest healing demonstrations have been with the men – the sons, the fathers, the husbands – because they agree to participate with the wife or the daughter or whatever it is we are looking at, and it is there. – Iyanla Vanzant • We’re all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way. – Gordon B. Hinckley • We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. – Gloria Steinem • What I did was take the Jesus of the Gospels, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary, and sought to make Him utterly believable, a vital breathing character. – Anne Rice • What I wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see I’ve written some other books that I really would like people to notice. There’s The Man Who Folded Himself, there’s The Martian Child, which is about my son and the adoption. There’s The War Against The Chtorr, which is my magnum opus, my great epic story. – David Gerrold • 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 • What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes – ah, they have all the necessary leisure. – Aldous Huxley • When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry. – William Shakespeare • When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said ‘Are you sure you’re Ellis’s son?’ – Wynton Marsalis • When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me. – Joel Osteen • When I started, with films like ‘The Bay Boy’ and ‘Stand by Me’, I look back on those interviews and I’m amazed; there’s no mention of my father; it’s not even ‘son of Donald Sutherland.’ I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me. – Kiefer Sutherland • When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn’t pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing. – Barbra Streisand • When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn’t the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror. – Susan Orlean • When we adopt—and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities—we’re picturing something that’s true about our God. We, like Jesus, see what our Father is doing and do likewise (John 5:19). And what our Father is doing, it turns out, is fighting for orphans, making them sons and daughters. – Russell D. Moore • When you become an instrument in God’s hands as He transfers someone from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, you make a difference in the person’s eternal destiny. Not only that, but Satan also receives a devastating blow. – Charles Stanley • With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy. – Pietro Aretino • With sons and fathers, there’s an inexplicable connection and imprint that your father leaves on you. – Brad Pitt • Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I’ve ever met. Son of Sam is a close second. – Geezer Butler • Women and LBGT people have the advantage that they are everybody’s son, daughter, cousin, nephew, aunt, uncle. They are in a position to change hearts, and you saw it happen actually. African-Americans, not so much. They are separated from the white oppressive population by geography, housing, segregation, centuries of slavery. There is a tremendous wall between black America and white. I would say you open the door with the force of law, and then you can start to change hearts. – Linda Hirshman • You can love someone like your son, even if he’s not your biological son, and you can love someone like your father, even if he’s not your biological father. – Oliver Hudson • You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes. – Wally Schirra • You know what has made me the happiest I’ve ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing. – Gil Scott-Heron • You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen. – Jean-Paul Sartre • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday. – Khalil Gibran • Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. – Khalil Gibran • Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up. – Hasdai ibn Shaprut • Your sons weren’t made to like you. That’s what grandchildren are for. – Jane Smiley
