Famous quotes containing the word change:

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
    each other’s despair into hope?—
    You yourself must change it.

    Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be “strangers in a strange land,” who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.
    Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
