“Sticking with your family is whatit a family.”

“You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.”

“Hey No one makes me do anything. Not my family. Not your family… not even you.”

“There's a lot of your family in tonight.”

“A friend is part of your family.”

“Family is just accident, Jessie. It's nothing personal, hon. They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are.”

“If you were there behind every family's closed doors, everyone's a little wacko. Chances are that your family is no weirder than the next family, or than the other girl at school's family. Everyone can be quirky at times, and I embrace that, personally.”

“You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family.”

“Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.”

“Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life.”
