Family Histories

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or histories:

“Nor does the family even move about together,
But every son would have his motor cycle,
And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”

“The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
