November 2021 – Steve McCurry Curated

“Our family dinner table was like Speakers’ Corner in London.
We discussed, debated, argued, declaimed –
all of us at the same time.”
– Eugene Thomson

“Researchers have confirmed what parents have known for a long time: sharing a meal is good for the spirit, the brain, and the health of all family members.”
– Anne Fishel, Ph.D.

“You can kiss your family and friends goodbye
and put miles between you,
but at the same time, you carry them with you
in your heart, your mind, your stomach
because you do not just live in a world.
A world lives in you.”
– Frederick Buechner

“There is no better classroom
than the family table.”
– Kaye Earle

“Other things may change us,
but we start and end with the family.”
– Anthony Brandt

“The family is the nucleus of civilization.”
– Will Durant

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction,
the cement that binds closer together, and
the music that brings harmony.”
– Eva Burrows

“It is not until much later,
as the skin sags and the heart weakens,
that children understand;
their stories, and all their accomplishments,
sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers,
stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.”
– Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

– Menander, 342 – 292 BCE
