Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    “All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
    —Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    “A tree is made to live in peace in the color of day and in friendship with the sun, the wind and the rain. Its roots plunge in the fat fermentation of the soil, sucking in its elemental humors, its fortifying juices. Trees always seem lost in a great tranquil dream. The dark rising sap makes them groan in the warm afternoons. A tree is a living being that knows the course of the clouds and presses the storms because it is full of birds’ nests.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
