"We love to be with our family and friends and I can tell you that lots of eating will be involved." ― Julia Barr Topic(s): Family More In Family "My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn’t there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay."― Harvey Fierstein "There’s something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society."― Jacqueline Bisset "Here’s the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family."― Elizabeth Gilbert
