Medici Family

Famous quotes containing the words medici and/or family:

    The said doctor can easily practise upon a page, and, if he does well, he can use his remedies on my son.
    —Catherine De’ Medici (1519–1589)

    I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.
    Russell Baker (b. 1925)
