Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “A fellow oughtn’t to let his family property go to pieces.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–67)

    “For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.”
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
