Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they’ve had since time began.”
    —Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    “I am the family face;
    Flesh perishes, I live on,
    Projecting trait and trace
    Through time to times anon,
    And leaping from place to place
    Over oblivion.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
