Owning Families

Famous quotes containing the words owning and/or families:

“Owning a wife with him meant owning her.
She wasn’t anybody else’s business,
Either to praise her or so much as name her,
And he’d thank people not to think of her.”

“There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
