"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live." ― Pope John Paul II Topic(s): Family More From Pope John Paul II "The historical experience of socialist countries has sadly demonstrated that collectivism does not do away with alienation but rather increases it, adding to it a lack of basic necessities and economic inefficiency." "The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish." "Today, for the first time in history, a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land, once a distant outpost of the pagan world, has become, through the preaching of the Gospel, a beloved and gifted portion of Christ’s vineyard."

I am horribly guilt-ridden."― Jessica Lange "I have a family."― Philip Seymour Hoffman
