Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)

    “Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
    —Mary Pipher (20th century)
