Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “The family is in flux, and signs of trouble are widespread. Expectations remain high. But realities are disturbing.”
    —Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)

    “The American father ... is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Family lore can be a bore, but only when you are hearing it, never when you are relating it to the ones who will be carrying it on for you. A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
