“Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.”
Peter Ustinov (1921–2004) English actor, writer, and dramatist
As quoted in The Book of Quotes (1979) by Barbara Rowes, p. 164
“The range of emotions parents can arouse in their children – affection, rebellion, indifference, fear, adulation, their disturbing combinations – suggest a repertory of subjective universals, cutting in each individual case at random across cultures. What children know – as opposed to feel – about their parents, on the other hand, is likely to be a function of objective constraints that vary more systematically: tradition, place, life-span.”
