Included Family

Famous quotes containing the words included and/or family:

    The Heavenly eye,
    Much wider than the sky,
    Wherein they all included were,
    The glorious Soul, that was the King
    Made to possess them, did appear
    A small and little thing!
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.
    Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
