Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Freud is all nonsense; the secret of neurosis is to be found in the family battle of wills to see who can refuse longest to help with the dishes. The sink is the great symbol of the bloodiness of family life.”
    —Julian Mitchell (20th century)

    “Nor does the family even move about together,
    But every son would have his motor cycle,
    And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
    —Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
