Famous quotes containing the word family:

    The family is on its way out; couples go next; then no more keeping cats or parrots.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Of all the vices, lewdness is the worst; of all the virtues, family duty is the first.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Rhyme.

    Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.
    M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
