"The family endures because it offers the truth of mortality and immortality
within the same group. The family endures because, better than the commune,
kibbutz, or classroom, it seems to individualize and socialize its children,
to make us feel at the same time unique and yet joined to all humanity,
accepted as is and yet challenged to grow, loved unconditionally and yet propelled
by greater expectations. Only in the family can so many extremes be
reconciled and synthesized. Only in the family do we have a lifetime in which to do
it"

-Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century) U.S. editor, writer
Family and Politics
