Louis de Bernieres Father Quotations

In reality the world is as full of bad mothers as it is of bad fathers, and it is not the motherless children who become delinquent but the fatherless ones.

So the news that divorced fathers are to be denied a legal right to a relationship with their children, in the long overdue review of family law published this week, fills me with horror and despair.

The De Bernieres were very military. I broke the military tradition but I was terribly proud of my father being a soldier.
