Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
    —Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    “Blackmail is one of the great pastimes of family life.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
