Family Comets

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or comets:

    What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    I know
    No answer to the children’s cry
    Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
    And ghostly comets over the raised fists.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
