Famous quotes containing the words family and/or relations:

    “A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
