The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.

'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''

'There is no such thing as 'fun for the whole family.''

When you have snowflakes in the clouds in the sky and you have mountains, you get snow. That's how it works.
