Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Nor does the family even move about together,
    But every son would have his motor cycle,
    And daughters ride away on casual pillions.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There are one or two rules,
    Half-a-dozen, maybe,
    That all family fools,
    Of whatever degree,
    Must observe if they love their profession.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described—and will be, after our deaths—by each of the family members who believe they know us.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
