Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . .

—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
