Famous quotes containing the words family tree, family and/or tree:

    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.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
