A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure, to provide stability.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.

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

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

I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

I never did quite fit the glamour mode. It is life with my husband and family that is my high now.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.
