Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.

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.

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 us in an impossible situation.

'Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.'

All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
