Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or family:

    Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.”
    Ruth Formanek (20th century)

    The agent’s steep and steady stare
    Corroded to a grin.
    Why, you black old, tough old hell of a man,
    Move your family in!
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
