“We have become a grandmother.”

“People have often told me that one of their strongest childhood memories is the scent of their grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmothers, but I could always count of the Bookmobile.”

“I shall never have a bath again," I said.
"Just dont have one too often," my grandmother said. "Once a month is quite enough for a sensible child." It was at times like these that I loved my grandmother more than ever.”

“My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me out of school.”

“If a woman is worth remembering,' said my grandmother, 'there is no need to have her name carved in letters.”

“Suffering for love is how I have learned practically everything I know, love of grandmother up and on.”

“It was the day my grandmother exploded.”

“Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.”

“I've never had a grandmother, a great-grandmother, nor a great-great-grandmother. I never even had a mother. I have certainly missed a great deal of love thereby, but fortune has compensated me by not giving me the capacity to hate anyone, neither nations nor individuals. If candlesticks and church bells have been plundered from my ancestors, then I'm only grateful that I'm so ignorant about genealogy.”

“You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is.”
