Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women, but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.

Steve Buscemi

It may be true of all relationships, not only between fathers and sons, but between men and women. Nothing seems fixed. Everything is always changing. We seem to have very little control over our emotional life.

Sherwood Anderson

No one is so foolish as to prefer to peace, war, in which, instead of sons burying their fathers, fathers bury their sons.

Croesus

Sibling relationships figure in a lot of my books. You don't often see relationships between adult siblings explored in fiction.

Dara Horn

Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.

Steve Buscemi

In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.

Herodotus

I think previously, when fathers and sons argued with each other, they would still face each other and face each other's feelings, but now, the relationships between people has become much more abstracted. I think, actually, in China, the gulf that exists between the pre- and post-internet generations is more vast.

Jia Zhangke

The sons of York will destroy each other, one brother destroying another, uncles devouring nephews, fathers beheading sons. They are a house which has to have blood, and they will shed their own if they have no other enemy.

Philippa Gregory

Uncleanness is so much the attribute of officials that one could almost regard them as enormous parasites...In the same way the fathers in Kafka's strange families batten on their sons, lying on top of them like giant parasites. They not only prey upon their strength, but gnaw away at the sons' right to exist. The fathers punish, but they are at the same time the accusers. The sin of which they accuse their sons seems to be a kind of original sin.

Walter Benjamin

Croesus said to Cambyses; That peace was better than war; because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.

Francis Bacon

Educators committed to engaging in the long-term, often difficult work of strengthening their relationships with colleagues, students and parents and expanding their opportunities for personal growth will find Nonviolent Communication to be an invaluable tool.

Ron Rubin

In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.

Herodotus

For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.

Homer

Many fathers and sons never get to reconcile their differences or come to an understanding that fills the gap between love and expectations.

George Pelecanos

I've seen beautiful and profound change and growth in men who are becoming fathers. Women get to carry the baby, so you might get a little head start on them, but watching a man get to know the little person, seeing that bond evolve and seeing the difference in the relationship between fathers and their sons and daughters, is fascinating.

Liv Tyler

Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today's warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.
