Людина протягом життя зазнає докорінних змін: іноді той, кого ви знали в дитинстві, постане перед вами таким інакшим у зрілому чи похилому віці, що то вже, власне будуть різні люди, зовсім різні варіанти особистості (О.Гончар).

A family is a unit composed not only of children, but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
Ogden Nash
Children are fortunate if they have a father who is honest and does what is right (20, 7).
Old men are proud of their grandchildren, just as boys are proud of their fathers. (17, 6.)
Friends always show their love. What are brothers for if not to share trouble? (17, 17.)
(Good News Bible, the Book of Proverbs)
“How many different things a family can be– a nest of tenderness, a jail for the heart, a nursery of souls. Families name us and define us, give us strength, give us grief. All our lives we struggle to embrace or escape their influence. They are magnets that both hold us close and drive us away. And, yet, is there anything we take for granted more than family?”
Eugene Richards, “The American Family”,
Life, April 1991, p.26
