Children Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón The Shadow of the Wind
““Do you think I could be... a good father? Like Yours. A man with a head, a heart, and a soul. A man capable of listening, of leading and respecting a child, and not of drowning his own defects in him. Someone whom a child will not only love because he's his father but will also admire for the person he is. Someone he would want to grow up to resemble.””
