Famous quotes containing the words family and/or life:
“The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–67)
“Inexpressibly beautiful appears the recognition by man of the least natural fact, and the allying his life to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
