    “They would probably help, in some trying time to come, to keep the jewel of liberty within the family of freedom.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
    Oh how hideous it is
    To see three generations of one house gathered together!
    It is like an old tree with shoots,
    And with some branches rotted and falling.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
