Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or family:

    “Worst, when this sensualism intrudes into the education of young women, and withers the hope and affection of human nature, by teaching that marriage signifies nothing but a housewife’s thrift, and that woman’s life has no other aim.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I can only sign over everything,
    the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
    the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
    Then I can sleep.
    Maybe.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
