Famous quotes containing the word family:

    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)

    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)

    It was occasions like this that made me more resolved than ever that my family would someday know real security. I never for a moment doubted that I myself would ultimately provide it for them.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
