—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The family is constantly changing, as each member changes. Some changes we recognize as developments, and the pleasure they bring usually makes us more adaptable. Some changes threaten, or disappoint other members, who may try to resist the change, or punish someone for changing.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Of all the vices, lewdness is the worst; of all the virtues, family duty is the first.”
