Famous quotes containing the word family:

—Francis Picabia (18781953)
“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)
“If you have this enormous talent, its got you by the balls, its a demon. You cant be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasnt that nice a guy.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
