Famous quotes containing the words family and/or allowances:
“—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Great allowances ought to be made for the petulance of persons laboring under ill-health.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
