"My father was often angry when I was most like him"
- Lillian Hellman
About this Quote
This quote by Lillian Hellman speaks with the complex relationship in between a papa and also child. It recommends that the child was trying to mimic her papa somehow, however that her efforts were met with temper. This can be interpreted as her father's means of trying to protect her from the same mistakes he had made, or maybe an indicator of his own instabilities. It can also suggest his very own stress at not having the ability to express himself in a manner that his child can understand. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the little girl was trying to get in touch with her daddy in some way, but was met resistance. This quote talks with the difficulty of browsing the connection between a father and little girl, and the intricacies of trying to understand each other.
"Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes"
"I do not separate Christ from God more than a voice from the speaker or a beam from the sun. Christ is the voice of the speaker. He and the Father are the same thing, as the beam and the light, are the same light"
