Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Public employment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one’s family and affairs.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    “O how terrible it must be for a young man—
    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
