Quote by S. E. Hinton

“We're all we've got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don't have each other, we don't have anything. If you don't have anything, you end up like Dallas... and I don't mean dead, either. I mean like he was before. And that's worse than dead.”

Victory over adversity through the family. He believed in it. Take the family, mix with God and Country, add the ten-hour day and you had what was needed.”

“परिवार समाज की, और समाज सभ्यता की पहली इकाई है, और यहाँ से ही संस्कृति पनपती है। अगर परिवार ही बेबुनियाद रिश्तों की भेंट चढ़ गये, तो समाज, सभ्यता और संस्कृति समाप्त।”

“Where is my father now? Honestly, that's the question I rarely think about. He could have a family in North Dakota, or maybe he's living on a beach in Central America, or he could be in the phone book; I have no idea. I've never checked. I haven't ever searched for him because I've never felt as if anything was missing. You only seek answers when you have questions. My family has always felt complete. My mother has been all I've needed. I forget that sometimes I take for granted her ability to guide me, to guide our family, as its' one true leader.”
