Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Like many another romance, the romance of the family turns sour when the money runs out. If we really cared about families, we would not let “born again” patriarchs send up moral abstractions as a smokescreen for the scandal of American family economics.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
