Famous Family Saying

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
Howard, Jane

The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow. The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.
Howe, Louise Kapp

My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?

The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping homeliness entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all sentiment is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called the Public, the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.
Lewis, Wyndham

Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals --or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
Macaulay, Rose

I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfillment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.
Mazzini, Giuseppe

Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.

Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation.

There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.

Having a family is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.

The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

Julianne:""I've got moves you've never seen.""

My Best Friend's Wedding

Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved, the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend, love that has grown cold can kindle.
