Famous quotes containing the word family:

—Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Every family has one passage of scripture they stumble over.”
—Chinese proverb.
