• I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.

• Considering the absence of legal coercion, the surprising thing is that men have for so long, and, on the whole, so reliably, adhered to what we might call the breadwinner ethic.

• Cualquiera que sea el gasto que se apruebe -incluso cuando se apruebe en contra del deseo del ministerio-, el ministerio debe encontrar el dinero. En consecuencia, tienen el mayor motivo para oponerse a un gasto extra. El ministerio es (por así decirlo) el sostén de la familia política, y tiene que sufragar el coste de la filantropía y la gloria; igual que el cabeza de familia tiene que pagar las caridades de su esposa y el aseo de sus hijas.

• Hubo un tiempo en que sólo los hombres podían mantener o trabajar, y todavía muchos países son así. Pero hay que pagar un precio por ello cuando se espera que seas la cuidadora a tiempo completo y que seas el sostén de la familia a tiempo completo.

• En efecto, la familia ha muerto, si por tal entendemos el sistema familiar moderno en el que las unidades formadas por el hombre que mantiene a la familia y la mujer que se ocupa del hogar, las parejas casadas y su descendencia dominan la tierra. Pero su fantasma, la ideología de la familia, sobrevive para atormentar la conciencia de todos aquellos que se niegan a enfrentarse a ella. Ha llegado el momento de realizar una autopsia social al cadáver del sistema familiar moderno para intentar dar sepultura a su molesto espíritu.

• Perhaps the old view of 'Me breadwinner, you hausfrau' worked for our grandparents, when people obligingly popped off before boring each other to death, but it won't work any longer because we are living too long and divorce is needed today to do what death acomplished more economically before.

• There was another thing I heartily disbelieved in - work. Work, it seemed to me even at the threshold of life, is an activity reserved for the dullard. It is the very opposite of creation, which is play… The part of me which was given up to work, which enabled my wife and child to live in the manner which they unthinkingly demanded, this part of me which kept the wheel turning - a completely fatuous, ego-centric notion! - was the least part of me. I gave nothing to the world in fulfilling the function of breadwinner; the world exacted its tribute of me, that was all.

  Henry Miller

• The best thing we can do for family values is to repeal the income tax. Then families will have the resources they need to implement their own values - and not those of the politicians. With the income tax gone, families will no longer be forced to have two breadwinners by necessity. Children will be raised better, family values will predominate, and crime will diminish. If your local school indoctrinates your child with values that are alien to you, you'll have the money to buy a private education.

• A man has to define himself as a breadwinner, as opposed to thinking that well, women used to be caregivers who also wanted to have careers; men have always had careers, so why shouldn't they also want much more family time?

• Our goal in the '70s was to end the closed door era. There were so many things that were off limits to women, policing, firefighting, mining, piloting planes. And the stereotypical view of people of a world divided between home and child caring women and men as breadwinners, men representing the family outside the home.

• I worry that some politicians still think we are living in the 1950s where the man is the main breadwinner and the woman works for pin money. Actually, most families where there are two parents depend on two incomes to get by.

• I don't see the women as a problem. The women are doing all they can do. They're heading up households; they're single parents; they're breadwinners; they're the 'mamas,' they're the 'daddies,' they're the 'uncles.' They take the kids to school; they take them to doctors, you know? They take them to games. I see it all the time.
