The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, “Daddy, I need to ask you something,” he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. ~Garrison Keillor
And mothers are their daughters’ role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. ~Victoria Secunda
A father is available to help his daughter balance both her love and her anger toward her mother, to moderate the inevitable emotional extremes in the intense mother-daughter equation. With Daddy’s steadying influence daughters can learn to be comfortable with healthy anger, rather than feeling that they must be eternal good girls who must at all costs conceal it. ~Victoria Secunda
We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons, but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. ~Gloria Steinem
Every mother hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did, and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did. ~Martin Andersen-Nexö
Suddenly, through birthing a daughter, a woman finds herself face to face not only with an infant, a little girl, a woman-to-be, but also with her own unresolved conflicts from the past and her hopes and dreams for the future…. As though experiencing an earthquake, mothers of daughters may find their lives shifted, their deep feelings unearthed, the balance struck in all relationships once again off kilter. ~Elizabeth Debold and Idelisse Malave
Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor
A father… knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself.

“A friend is there at the end of the day,
He’s not out to impress but rather to play.
He makes sure you’re ok

He never gets mad.
He doesn’t ask for much,
Just some nutrition, a toy, and a good scratch.
And once in awhile, to your ankle he’ll attach.
He’s a small gift from heaven,
An angel sent from above.
A precious friend made of sweetness and love.
