Bruce Springsteen on family

You ride in a limousine the first time, it’s a big thrill but after that it’s just a stupid car.

Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you’re trying to say on stage… Success makes life easier. It doesn’t make living easier.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

The family you come from isn’t as important as the family you’re going to have.

Ring Lardner1885–1933

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap on-a-rope.
