Closely Related

Famous quotes containing the words closely related, closely and/or related:

    As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals—or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
    Rose Macaulay (1881–1958)

    Let us together closely lie, and kisse,
    There is no labour, nor no shame in this;
    This hath pleas’d, doth please, and long will please; never
    Can this decay, but is beginning ever.
    Petronius Arbiter (d.A.D. 66)

    There is nothing but is related to us, nothing that does not interest us,—kingdom, college, tree, horse, or iron show,—the roots of all things are in man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
