    “Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.”
    —Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)

    “It is possible to make friends with our children—but probably not while they are children.... Friendship is a relationship of mutual dependence-interdependence. A family is a relationship in which some of the participants are dependent on others. It is the job of parents to provide for their children. It is not appropriate for adults to enter into parenthood recognizing they have made a decision to accept dependents and then try to pretend that their children are not dependent on them.”
    —Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)

    “You can’t put fourteen hundred people out of work because the world has a stomach ache.”
    —Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)

    “Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
