Austen Family

Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or family:

    If the warmth of her Language could affect the Body it might
    be worth reading in this weather.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    When a family is free of abuse and oppression, it can be the place where we share our deepest secrets and stand the most exposed, a place where we learn to feel distinct without being “better,” and sacrifice for others without losing ourselves.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
