Famous quotes containing the word hung:

    “In families children tend to take on stock roles, as if there were hats hung up in some secret place, visible only to the children. Each succeeding child selects a hat and takes on that role: the good child, the black sheep, the clown, and so forth.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
