My Father Died Quotes - Page 2

• The importance of heart health became very real for me when my father died of heart disease seven years ago. Having experienced the loss first hand, I am inspired to do everything I can to break the cycle and prevent families from losing loved ones to this preventable disease.

• ¡Es cierto! Fue antes de que muriera mi padre, así que no puedo atribuirlo a una obsesión con la muerte. Cuando tenía siete años, me encantaban esas viejas películas de Sherlock Holmes con Basil Rathbone. La Garra Escarlata era una de mis favoritas. Y me encantaban todas las de Halloween y esa película de la casa encantada... Burnt Offerings, con Oliver Reed. Cada fiesta de cumpleaños era una fiesta de pijamas y veíamos películas de terror.

• Mi padre murió cuando yo tenía 10 años; mi hermana contrajo la polio un par de años más tarde y quedó paralítica. Así que allí estaba yo: mi hermana en una silla de ruedas, mi padre muerto y mi madre convertida en un ratoncito tranquilo. Eran los años 30 en el Sur, así que mi madre no estaba preparada para afrontar la situación. Así que estaba muerta de miedo. Y estando tan asustada, todo lo que vino después se convirtió en una lucha para no irse por el desagüe. Luchar se convirtió en una forma de vida para mí.

• I did not begin to talk about peace when my father died nor did I begin to criticize him at that point - I did this when I had him in front of me, I was one of his harshest criticizers and I never applauded his violence.

• My father died at 42, of a heart attack. My mother was 32 then. She never wanted to be a victim. And that really resonated as a nine-year-old child. And one of the most revealing things was, very soon after my father died - he was in real estate and he owned some modest buildings - they came to my mother, the men that worked for him, and they said, "You don't have to worry. We will run the business and we will take care of you." And my mother said, "No, you won't. You will teach me how to run the business and I will take care of it and my children."

• The day my father died seemed longer than my entire childhood. The day I felt my first success seemed fleeting, hour-long, not long enough perhaps. I wondered where it went. Even the cycle of time confounds me. I work till dark, until sunrise on most days and fall asleep as the world awakens to light. My friends call me an owl. I like to think of myself as Batman – the prince of darkness.

• I was 16 when my father died, and I had a choice to come back and live in his house or I'd stay at the school. But I felt if my father wanted me to go to that school when I was 5, there must have been a reason - and I understood that reason when I was a teenager, because that school became the only place where I was safe.

• My father died very suddenly at sixty-three. Just dropped dead. For a long time afterward, I'd ask myself, Why didn't I ask him to play golf more? Why didn't I spend more time with him? But when you're off trying to get the brass ring, you forget and overlook those little things. It gives you a certain amount of regret later on, but there's nothing you can do about it. So you just forge on.

• I remember when I was 26. My father died when I was young and my mother didn't have a lot of money, so I thought, 'I want to own a flat by the time I'm 26.' So I worked towards that, literally trying to scrimp and save. But sometimes those plans don't go as you expect.

• My father died right after the movie Rain Man was released. He got to see it, then literally the day before he died, he asked Mama to take him to see it one more time - because he knew he was declining. Tom's assistant at the time told him my father died, and he wrote me a very personal note. I haven't seen him since, but you can't say anything bad about Tom Cruise to me, because anybody who takes the time to do that is very special.

• Hay romero, que es para el recuerdo; te ruego, amor, que recuerdes: y hay pensamientos, que son para los pensamientos. Hay hinojo para ti, y columbinas: - hay ruda para ti; y aquí hay un poco para mí: - podemos llamarla, hierba de gracia de los domingos: - puedes llevar tu ruda con una diferencia. - Hay una margarita: - Te daría unas violetas; pero se marchitaron todas, cuando murió mi padre: - Dicen que tuvo buen fin.

• In stark contrast to two nights ago, when I felt Peeta was a million miles away, I'm struck by his immediacy now. As we settle in, he pulls my head down to use his arm as a pillow; the other rests protectively over me even when he goes to sleep. No one has held me like this in such a long time. Since my father died and I stopped trusting my mother, no one else's arms have made me feel this safe.

• I think about my education sometimes. I went to the University of Chicago for awhile after the Second World War. I was a student in the Department of Anthropology. At that time they were teaching that there was absolutely no difference between anybody. They may be teaching that still. Another thing they taught was that no one was ridiculous or bad or disgusting. Shortly before my father died, he said to me, ‘You know – you never wrote a story with a villain in it.’ I told him that was one of the things I learned in college after the war.

• When he died, I went about like a ragged crow telling strangers, "My father died, my father died." My indiscretion embarrassed me, but I could not help it. Without my father on his Delhi rooftop, why was I here? Without him there, why should I go back? Without that ache between us, what was I made of?

• In really bad times, the hungriest would gather at his door at nightfall, vying for the chance to earn a few coins to feed their families by selling their bodies. Had I been older when my father died, I might have been among them. Instead I learned to hunt.
