Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “One banquet in a rich family could feed a poor man’s family for half a year.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “I can only sign over everything,
    the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
    the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
    Then I can sleep.
    Maybe.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
