Like any other people, like fathers, mothers, sons and daughters in every land, when the issue of peace or war has been put squarely to the American people, they have registered for peace.
I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldn't take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat. That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.
I walk fast. I have an aversion to wasting time. My sense of constant motion is one of the reasons that my eldest daughter, Amy, nicknamed me 'the Tasmanian Devil' when she was in her teens.
When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.
When my daughter Sabrina was 2 years old, the pediatrician told me it was time she quit using a pacifier because that could make her teeth crooked and even cause infections in her ears.

Bill Foster: You have a choice. I can kill you. Or you can kill me, and my daughter will get the insurance.
Tom Hagen: I have to get back to work. It's part of the wedding. No Sicilian can ever refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day.

[last lines] Bill: Just one more thing Sofie. Is she aware her daughter is alive?

Jethro's daughter: Is it true that Egyptian girls paint their eyes? Moses: Yes, but very few have eyes as beautiful as yours.
Moses: [to Jethro's daughters, as they were washing his feet] Never did a lost sheep have so many shepherds.
[last lines] Robert Wakefield: My name is Robert. And my wife, Barbara and I are here to support our daughter Caroline. And we're here to listen.
Barbara Wakefield: You might want to pencil a little face time with your daughter. Robert Wakefield: Barbara. Barbara Wakefield: Because I'm at the edge of my capabilities, Robert.
Sally Jupiter: [on her daughter, Laurie] She blames me for her career, but what else would she have been? A housewife?
I first had the idea of writing a popular book about the universe in 1982. My intention was partly to earn money to pay my daughter's school fees.
I didn't think any amount of money was worth something that would take away what you believed in or what you stood for. I didn't want to do something my parents and daughter couldn't be proud of.
There were so many stories about Bing's daughter living in sin. We weren't hurting anyone. We were living in love. I couldn't understand why people were trying to hurt us and hurt our families.
