Jack Straw quotes

There were five children in my family, and arguing was how we used to entertain ourselves. (Jack Straw)
It's extraordinary what children put up with. I happened to see two of my uncles put my father up against the wall of my grandmother's house and knock his teeth out, because he'd been unpleasant to my mother. The next day I went upstairs and found my father making a rather half-hearted attempt to gas himself. View quote
