In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.

I live quietly at home among my family and friends.

Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a sanctuary: It is, perpetually, a dangerous place.

When I remember my family, I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places.

When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.

You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

The joke in our family is that we can cry reading the phone book.
