Famous quotes containing the words family and/or stone:
“What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“She took you the way a woman takes
a bargain dress off the rack
and I broke the way a stone breaks.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
