Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
“One banquet in a rich family could feed a poor man’s family for half a year.”
—Chinese proverb.
