Text Quotes
I never saw my grandfather because he had died before I was born, but I have good memories of my grandmother and of how she could play the piano at the old house  (My Grandmother Quotes) My mother and my father were teachers. My grandmother and my grandfather were teachers. This is something I really know about. Even when I was a kid, it was a profession my father couldn’t stay in, because he couldn’t make enough money  (My Grandmother Quotes) I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother had great influence on me. She was secretary of state in the 1970’s, and that’s when I was born. She showed me the importance of public service, and she was admired by people regardless of their political party  (My Grandmother Quotes) Every child growing up will look to their parents, my mother and my father. My grandmother lived with us. I picked up quite a bit of family lore and history from her, which was interesting  (My Grandmother Quotes) For years, my master had done his utmost to pollute my mind with foul images, and to destroy the pure principles inculcated by my grandmother, and the good mistress of my childhood  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother had the most dramatic effect on my life because she set me in one direction, and I had to go back the other direction for my sanity, and for my ability to be a social human being  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother played the piano, and I used to toddle over there and pick out little things that sounded good to me  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmothers are full of memories, smelling of soap and onions and wet clay, with veins rolling roughly over quick hands, they have many clean words to say, my grandmothers were strong  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother sang, too, and she was really loud. It was this wild kind of singing. I count her among my influences  (My Grandmother Quotes) I’m a man with many defects. I love. I sing. I dream. I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother. My children, my two daughters are with me and I want a better world for my grandchildren, for your grandchildren  (My Grandmother Quotes) I’m one of these children who grew up at the knee of my grandmother and her elder sister, listening to very old people talk about their memories  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother taught me that accomplishments meant less than what you left behind. I started to ask myself what impact my comedy would have on people’s lives. And that changed my act. I got cleaner. I stopped talking about generic stuff like airplane peanuts and started speaking the truth about my gift  (My Grandmother Quotes) I’m a very positive person. My grandmother taught me that happiness is both a skill and a decision, and you are responsible for the outcome  (My Grandmother Quotes) Through my grandmother’s eyes, I can see more clearly the way things used to be, the way things ought to be, and most important of all, the way things really are  (My Grandmother Quotes) It took me a long time to get used to the reality that my grandmother had passed away. Wherever I was, in the house, in the garden, out on the fields, her face always appeared so clearly to me  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you’ve got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better  (My Grandmother Quotes) Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I’ve spent time with over the years  (My Grandmother Quotes) I was lucky. My grandmother stepped up for me and said she would take responsibility for me and a compassionate juvenile judge took a chance and gave me one. They were getting ready to send me away to do real time, but they sent me instead to a juvenile alternative day school. And I guess that was the beginning of my turnaround  (My Grandmother Quotes) If I had a time machine I would go back 30 years and show up at my grandmother’s apartment before the gargantuan meals she would serve and I would help her  (My Grandmother Quotes) Many forms, sizes and colors, I think there are heroes in sports, in life... It would be cliché to say my dad, my granddad. I think I’m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes  (My Grandmother Quotes) I would lie, because no one would know me anyway. My grandmother convinced me to be proud of what I do  (My Grandmother Quotes) My grandmother was an unparalleled storyteller who gave me a preview of how life might turn out, and also fortified my empathy  (My Grandmother Quotes) I’ve seen my grandmothers grow old and they are so beautiful, every wrinkle in their face tells a story.

Later, I learned he was alive, but my family pretended he didn’t exist because of the terrible way he’d abused my grandmother and my mother. He did things like shave my grandmother’s head and lock her in a closet. With my mother’s help, my grandmother finally left him  (My Grandmother Quotes) I am the product of the sustained indignation of a branded grandfather, the militant protest of my grandmother, the disciplined resentment of my father and mother, and the power of the mass action of the church  (My Grandmother Quotes) I’ll impose upon you the same arrogance that was imposed on me, and on my mother, my grandmother, my grandmother’s mother: all the way back to the first human born of another human being, whether he liked it or not. Probably, if he or she had been allowed to choose, he would have been frightened and answered: No, I don’t want to be born. But no one asked their opinion, and so they were born and lived and died after giving birth to another human being who was not asked to choose, and that one did likewise, for millions of years, right down to us  (My Grandmother Quotes) When my son will be born, my first goal will be for him. The rest, will be as always for my grandmother  (My Grandmother Quotes) I see my sisters, my mother, my grandmother. I like the way I look. I think I have a nice face. I like my eyes, my mouth. I have a good nose. I have good skin  (My Grandmother Quotes)
