Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents.

Summary

This quote suggests that while fathers are biologically necessary for procreation, their role as social figures in society is not predetermined or guaranteed. It implies that being a father is not solely defined by biology, but rather influenced by social and incidental factors. It highlights the idea that the significance of fatherhood goes beyond genetics, raising questions about the societal expectations and responsibilities associated with being a father.
