To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They say the death of a parent puts you in time because that means there's now no generation standing between you and ordinary death: you're next. I don't buy it.
The future will be the child of the past and the present, even if a rebellious child.
The fate of a child is in the hands of his parents.
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
One faces the future with one's past.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.
For when a child is born the mother also is born again.
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.
