Parenthood quotes

“If I seem a bit sinister as a parent, Mr. Marlowe, it's because my hold on life is too slight to include any Victorian hypocrisy. I need hardly add that any man who has lived as I have and who indulges, for the first time, in parenthood, at my age, deserves all he gets.”
Charles Waldron - General Sternwood

“Better to have no father than a bad one.”

Jessica Lange - Constance Langdon

“As any parent knows, the best time to get things done is when everyone else is asleep.”
Lauren German - Chloe Decker

Renee Zellweger - Judy Garland
Finn Wittrock - Mickey Deans

“Before Izzy was born, if I saw a half-eaten meatball sub in the trash you better believe I would dust that bad boy off and go to town on it! But now, I'm not risking my health eating trash-food. I mean, unless it's a corn dog.”
Donald Adeosun Faison - Dr. Christopher Turk

Regina King - Sharon Rivers
