"The institution of the family is decisive in determining not only if a person has the capacity to love another individual but in the larger social sense whether he is capable of loving his fellow men collectively. The whole of society rests on this foundation for stability, understanding and social peace."
- Daniel Patrick Moynihan
"Why is there something rather than nothing?"
- Leibniz (1697 essay “On the Ultimate Origin of Things”)
