Famous quotes containing the word family:
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
“Every family should extend First Amendment rights to all its members, but this freedom is particularly essential for our kids. Children must be able to say what they think, openly express their feelings, and ask for what they want and need if they are ever able to develop an integrated sense of self. They must be able to think their own thoughts, even if they differ from ours. They need to have the opportunity to ask us questions when they don’t understand what we mean.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
