Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    “With all the attention paid to your new baby, it’s easy for your own feelings and needs to get lost in the shuffle. Although all parents engage in some self-sacrifice for their children, keep in mind that your goal isn’t just to raise a happy, healthy child. You want that child to be part of a happy, healthy family as well.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    ““Where the tree of knowledge stands, there is always paradise”: thus speak the oldest and the youngest serpents.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
