Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    “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)

    “On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
    Sang “Willow, titwillow, titwillow!”
    And I said to him, “Dicky-bird, why do you sit
    Singing, ‘Willow, titwillow, titwillow’?
    Is it a weakness of intellect, birdie?” I cried,
    “Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?””
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
