Famous quotes containing the words family tree, family and/or tree:

    A poem is like a person. Though it has a family tree, it is important not because of its ancestors but because of its individuality. The poem, like any human being, is something more than its most complete analysis. Like any human being, it gives a sense of unified individuality which no summary of its qualities can reproduce; and at the same time a sense of variety which is beyond satisfactory final analysis.
    Donald Stauffer (b. 1930)

    The family is on its way out; couples go next; then no more keeping cats or parrots.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    On a tree by a river a little tom-tit Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit Singing, “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
