It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to see my family all the time, and they're delighted, I'm sure, to be aware of that.
Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life.
I reproach so many things about my family, but on the other hand, I kept asking them to be my family.
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.
I've realised how important having family is.
There's nothing like meeting someone's family to get a true sense of them and a reflection of their ethics and personality. It just makes them a more rounded person.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
It's a funny thing when you know someone and you meet their siblings - you get so much a sense of who they are because when you can recognize similar traits in the family, you understand exactly why they are the way they are.
In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.
There is nothing on earth so easy as to forget, if a person chooses to set about it. I'm sure I have as much forgot your poor, dear uncle, as if he had never existed; and I thought it my duty to do so.
