Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
    and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
    colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
    and, lulled within, a family with pets,
    —and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “Blackmail is one of the great pastimes of family life.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Q: What would have made a family and career easier for you?
    A: Being born a man.”
    —Anonymous Mother, U.S. physician and mother of four. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)
