Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.”
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    “For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
    —Stephanie Coontz (20th century)

    “It’s a family joke that when I was a tiny child I turned from the window out of which I was watching a snowstorm, and hopefully asked, ‘Momma, do we believe in winter?’”
    —Philip Roth (20th century)
