Quotes by Grandparent Younger Cuban Americans who have decided to go to the island always come back telling me "that isn't the country my grandparents have told me about." Mark Falcoff grandparent islands country I've always wanted to be a poet at the beginning. I would look at my grandparents' books and my parents' books. And in my family, a typical aspirational Jewish family, being a writer was very much exalted, and it seemed impossible to me, that I could ever do something like that. Mark Leyner typical grandparent book There is no time so short as the time between when your kids stop wrecking your furniture and your grandchildren start. Mary Margaret McBride grandparent grandchildren kids As a grandmother, I've learned that you can't buy love. But your grandchildren are disappointed when you don't try.

Matt Damon ethos grandparent kids My grandparents are holocaust survivors so I was really aware at a young age how horrible human beings can be to one another.

Melanie Laurent perfect-parents grandparent childhood I'm really interested in the United States, what it means to be American - maybe because my father's an immigrant and my grandparents were immigrants, and also because I grew up so isolated from mainstream life, and it was such a total shock to leave the commune and, in a way, enter America for the first time when I was eleven - so I've always felt a little like an anthropologist - like, what is this strange place I find myself in, what are the rules here? Micah Perks grandparent strange mean Grandfather was well known for being stubborn in his ideas. For instance... you had to go to sleep facing east so that you would be ready to greet the sun when it returned. Michael Dorris grandparent sleep ideas I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery; of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. Mildred D. Taylor grandparent fire book I had such a great time doing commercials and things as a kid.

Mila Kunis grandparent grateful kids I spent my childhood outdoors on my grandparents' farm. I learned to ride a motorbike when I was about six, a little PeeWee 50.

Mo Rocca grandparent character people The grandchildren should not bear the debts of the grandparents. Nassim Nicholas Taleb debt grandparent grandchildren The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program.

Neil deGrasse Tyson grandparent space mean The scariest time of my life was when I knew my Nana was dying. It was horrible, as there's nothing I could do to stop it. I grew up living with my Mum, brother and Nana (my mum's mum), so it felt like I lost a parent rather than a grandparent. It makes you realise the fragility of life. Nikki Sanderson grandparent dying brother Even though my grandparents live overseas and are so far away and we talk as much as we can, we don't see each other that often. Nina Dobrev far-away grandparent It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say, 'You shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that.' But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything, and they will support you. That's why you have this kind of connection.
