"When I remember my family, I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places." ― John Cheever Topic(s): Family More From John Cheever "Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two." "Homesickness is nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time." "For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty." More In Family "Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch."― Tim Berners Lee "Unless they have disabilities to cope with, no family should get more from living on benefits than the average family gets from going out to work. No more open-ended chequebook."― George Osborne "I think it’s been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they’ve told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex… I think they are pretty used to it now."― Janet Jackson
