Modern Bobola Family
It is assumed that a part of the Bobola family exists to this day under the name of Bobola, they currently live mainly in Warsaw (about 30 persons), Poland. This is a part which, precisely, seems to have been rooted in Pinsk for some time. In the 17th century, a nobleman from Pinsk underwriting himself as Bobola used the Leliwa coat of arms, the same as Saint Andrew Bobola's ones. Nevertheless, most of them still bear the name of Bobola and are spread whole over Poland (more than 200 persons).

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or family:
“Certainly for us of the modern world, with its conflicting claims, its entangled interests, distracted by so many sorrows, so many preoccupations, so bewildering an experience, the problem of unity with ourselves in blitheness and repose, is far harder than it was for the Greek within the simple terms of antique life. Yet, not less than ever, the intellect demands completeness, centrality.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
