Theme Word

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or word:

“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

“You have no word for soldiers to enjoy
The feel of, as an apple, and to chew
With masculine satisfaction. Not “good-by!”
“Come back!”or “careful!” Look, and let him go.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
