Famous quotes containing the words family and/or death:
“Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it’s often the momentary rainbows that we remember.”
—Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
“Sinks to the deep abyss where Satan crawls
Where horrid Death and Despair lies.”
