Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or family:

    When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

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