Famous quotes containing the word family:

    If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.
    Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)

    O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    While one family is well-fed and clothed, a thousand others grumble.
    Chinese proverb.
