Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “The family is constantly changing, as each member changes. Some changes we recognize as developments, and the pleasure they bring usually makes us more adaptable. Some changes threaten, or disappoint other members, who may try to resist the change, or punish someone for changing.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.”
    —Francis Picabia (1878–1953)

    “Diamonds may have been a girl’s best friend in an era when a woman’s only hope of having a high family income was to marry a man who was well-off, but today, marketable skills that will enable a woman to command a good income over her lifetime are a better investment.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)
