Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I can only sign over everything,
the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
Then I can sleep.
Maybe.”

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