Families Quotes (page 32)

It is the individual who can and does make a difference even in this increasingly populous, complex world of ours. The individual can make things happen. It is the individual who can bring a tear to my eye and then cause me to take pen in hand. It is the individual who has acted or tried to act who will not only force a decision but also have a hand in shaping it. Whether acting in the legal, governmental, or private realm, one concerned and dedicated person can meaningful affect what... Sandra Day O'Connor
In a manner familiar to anyone who had ever packed a car for a family trip, genial confusion gave way to impatience, then furious ultimatums, then ill-advised snap decisions. Neal Stephenson
Her efforts received encouragement. In fact, they were welcomed as the Tallises began to understand that the baby of the family possessed a strange mind and a facility with words. The long afternoons she spent browsing through the dictionary and thesaurus made for constructions that were inept, but hauntingly so: the coins a villain concealed in his pocket were 'esoteric,' a hoodlum caught stealing a car wept in 'shameless auto-exculpation,' the heroine on her thoroughbred stallion made a... Ian Mcewan
All of us remember the home of our childhood. Interestingly, our thoughts do not dwell on whether the house was large or small, the neighborhood fashionable or downtrodden. Rather, we delight in the experiences we shared as a family. The home is the laboratory of our lives, and what we learn there largely determines what we do when we leave there. Thomas S. Monson

You're children. Don't you want a home, a family?"With, like, vitamin-fortified cereal and educational television? James Patterson
Well, the English have no family feelings. That is, none of the kind you mean. They have them, and one of them is that relations must cause no expense. Ivy Compton-Burnett
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families. Martin Luther
Ian Mcewan quote: "How easily this unthinking family love was forgotten."
How easily this unthinking family love was forgotten. Ian Mcewan

New Orleans, city of roaches, city of decay, city of our family, and of happy, happy people. Anne Rice
Seated at the table, high in her firmament of gin, she looked critically at her brother and his wife, remembering some real or imagined injustice of her youth, for with any proximity the constellations of some families generate among themselves an asperity that nothing can sweeten. John Cheever
Patricia Highsmith quote: "One situation? maybe one alone? could drive me to murder:..."
One situation? maybe one alone? could drive me to murder: family life, togetherness. Patricia Highsmith
You know, I really think that when God puts together families, he sticks his finger into the white pages and selects a group of people at random and then says to them all, 'Hey! You're going to spend the next seventy years together, even though you have nothing in common and don't even like each other. And, should you not feel yourself caring about any of this group of strangers, even for a second, you will just feel dreadful Doug Coupland
Frantz Fanon quote: "One avoids Creolisms. Some families completely forbid Creole..."
One avoids Creolisms. Some families completely forbid Creole and mothers ridicule their children for speaking it. Frantz Fanon
Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family? Very few, I admit. It is unfortunate that they should so often have to make the choice. A man does not, as a rule, have to choose. He gets both. Nevertheless, there have been women ... who had the choice, and chose the job and made a success of it. And there have been and are many men who have... Dorothy L. Sayers
Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work's important, family's important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming. Nicholas Sparks
