Famous quotes containing the words family and/or ties:

    The family story tells, and it was told true,
    of my great-grandfather who begat eight
    genius children and bought twelve almost new
    grand pianos. He left a considerable estate
    when he died.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
