Family/size

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or size:

“English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.””
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)

“There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
