Famous quotes containing the words family, tree, original and/or homeland:
“I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“Sin, guilt, neurosis—they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“The most original sin is not the thinker’s but the poet’s.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggar’s smile from the scorn of free men.”
—José Martí (1853–1895)
