Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

“The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–67)

“It’s a tree on a riverbank: how long can it survive?”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
