If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.

One of the things that binds us as a family is a shared sense of humor.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.

The most important thing in the world is family and love.

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

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

Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
