One day you will do things for me that you hate. That is what it means to be family.

Jonathan Safran Foer
About This Quote

Many people say that they hate their family. Family is a very strong bond, though, and it means a lot to the people who are part of it. When you know someone so well that you can tell when they are lying, you know them very well.
