{"quotes":[{"text":"Dear Future Daughter:1) When you’re at some party, chain smoking on the roof with some strange girl with blue hair and exorbitant large dark eyes, ask her about her day. I promise you, you won’t regret it. Often times you’ll find the strangest of people have the most captivating of stories to tell.2) Please, never mistake desire for love. Love will engulf your soul, whilst desire will emerge as acid, slowly making it’s way through your veins, gradually burning you from the inside out.3) No one is going to fucking save you, anything you’ve read or heard otherwise is bullshit.4) One day a boy is going to come along who’s touch feels like fire and who’s words taste like vanilla, when he leaves you, you will want to die. If you know anything at all, know that it is only temporary.5) Your mental health comes before school baby, always. If its midnight, and you have an exam the next day but your hands have been shaking for the past hour and a half and you’re not so sure you want to be alive anymore, pull out that carton of Ben and Jerry’s and afterwards, go the fuck to bed. So what if you get a 68% on the exam the next day? You took care of yourself and at the end of the day that will always come before a high test score. To hell with anyone who tells you differently.","author":"Abbie Nielsen","tags":["advice","daughter","inspiration","letter"],"id":1053,"author_id":"Abbie+Nielsen"},{"text":"I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids?

She squeezed it into him and held it there. She accepted him. She loved him in his wretchedness, kissed his ragged cheek, and called him /father./.","author":"A.S.

Filial love. The old man has been condemned by the Roman senate to die of hunger, and his daughter has come to his prison cell and offered her breast to feed him. This has nothing to do with with the decorous love or amorous passions one is more accustomed to seeing in a painting. It is raw and wretched and demeaning. In the end, we are physical bodies and every abstract notion about love sinks beneath this fact.","author":"Debra Dean","tags":["body","daughter","father","hunger","love","starvation","weakness"],"id":8237,"author_id":"Debra+Dean"},{"text":"My daughter doesn't even get my humor.

In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition, but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.","author":"Joseph Addison","tags":["daughter","father"],"id":11956,"author_id":"Joseph+Addison"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":324,"pages":33,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
