Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “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)

    “For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)

    “We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a cheque every month, and hoped he’d get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.”
    —John Osborne (b. 1929)
