Quotes about family problems aren’t always pleasant, but they’re usually memorable. Here is the Selfvibe review team’s collection of quotes which can help open the door to communication and healing.
Mitch Alborn: “All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack a few shatter childhoods into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”
Milton R. Saperstein: “Bringing up a family should be an adventure, not an anxious discipline in which everybody is constantly graded for performance.”
Unknown: “We cannot destroy kindred: our chains stretch a little sometimes, but they never break.”
Arundhati Roy: “This was the trouble with families. Like invidious doctors, they know just where it hurt.”
Ugo Betti: “I think the family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.”
Marian Wright Edelman: “If you as parents cut corners, your children will, too. If you lie, they will, too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it to charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won’t either. And, if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.”
Isaac Rosenfeld: “In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.”
Christopher Paolini: “Those whom we most love are often the most alien to us.”
