Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
    —Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)

    “For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.”
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
