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

'Divorce is when mommy and daddy yell at each other then they spread apart. Then they put up a 'for sale' sign in front of the house and they spread farther and farther apart until they can't come back ever again and it's very sad.' (teaching her 4-year old brother)

'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

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