Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or family:

    I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
