Famous quotes containing the word families:

    “Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.”
    —Stella Benson (1892–1933)

    “Awareness has changed so that every act for children, every piece of legislation recognizes that children are part of families and that it is within families that children grow and thrive—or don’t.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    “In families children tend to take on stock roles, as if there were hats hung up in some secret place, visible only to the children. Each succeeding child selects a hat and takes on that role: the good child, the black sheep, the clown, and so forth.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
