Father’s Day will be observed on June 16, 2024. To celebrate this special occasion, let’s read some iconic quotes from famous writers around the world.
“Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.” –

Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum
“Perhaps that is what is means to be a father- to teach your child to live without you.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.”
