Her dad’s body is a castle for her. A shelter and a weapon. When he puts his arm around her shoulders she feels a mixture of terror and comfort.
Your daddy wanted you to be everything he wasn't...and at the same time he tried to make you into everything he was. I don't know if he was right or wrong...but I do know he meant to do more good than he meant to do harm.
I’ve always known Father was a powerful man. I just never realized how deep that power ran.
My dad was a bit of a hard nut. I saw that he did help people.
At that moment Jesse loved his father more than he had ever loved him. He felt that his father had carried him through a mighty test, had revealed to him a great secret which would be the key to his life forever.
A man should hold his compound together, not plant dissension among his children.
A man does not speak a lie to his son. Remember that always. To say My father told me is to swear the greatest oath.
