With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping homeliness entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all sentiment is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called the Public, the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state. (Alexander Lloyd)

As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals --or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal? (Alexander Lloyd)

The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfillment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family. (Alexander Lloyd)

Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty. (Alexander Lloyd)
A brother is a friend provided by nature. (Alexander Lloyd)
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous. (Alexander Lloyd)
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth. (Alexander Lloyd)
