Quote by Anna Quindlen

In the family sandwich, the older people and the younger ones can recognize one another as the bread. Those in the middle are, for a time, the meat.

In the family sandwich, the older people and the younger one

Summary

This quote symbolizes the dynamics within a family, where the older and younger generations act as the foundation and support, while the middle generation acts as the connecting link. The older and younger family members, like the bread in a sandwich, share similar experiences and perspectives. Meanwhile, the middle generation, being in the "meat" of their lives, plays the role of bridge between the two, connecting the different stages of life within the family unit. This quote emphasizes the importance of intergenerational relationships and the roles that each member plays in maintaining familial harmony and understanding.
