We’ve looked at great dads, wonderful moms and awesome grandfathers, but what makes them great, wonderful and awesome? Protecting us? Sure. Unconditional love? Of course. Giving us money for ice-cream? Definitely.
There’s something else they give us, that we tend to forget – until we’ve received a nasty blow on the head from that thing called life. That precious thing they impart on us is wisdom, and since 19 June is Father’s Day, we decided to take a look at ten great quotes from fathers, and father figures, in the movies.
1. "Your only limit is your soul…only the fearless can be great." - Gusteau, Ratatouille (2007)
Watch Ratatouille on 21 June at 18:10 on M-Net Movies Showcase.
2. “That’s why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they’d call them something else.” – Jim Baker, Sixteen Candles (1984)
3. “You must choose your own path.” – Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas (1995)
4. “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.” – Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)
