Quote from Marie in The Family Bed

Ray: Ma, Ally eats fine, okay? It's just we have to get her back in her own bed, that's all. We got all the books.
Frank: Books? Ha!
Marie: I needed no books when I was raising you kids. No. And my parents didn't use them, either.
Ray: Ah, good, I come from a long line of illiterates.
Marie: Raymond, dear, to raise children, all you need is love and common sense.
