You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship. You stand with the belligerent, the surly and the badly behaved until bad behavior is recognized for the language it is: the vocabulary of the deeply wounded and of those whose burdens are more than they can bear.

American Clergyman

The social aspects of food are really important to me - my favourite food-related memories are meals I've shared with my family and friends. Posting Instagram pictures of your food and then seeing your friends comment on it is just a modern form of that kinship.

American Artist

George Gaylord Simpson

Recognition of this kinship with the rest of the universe is necessary for understanding him, but his essential nature is defined by qualities found nowhere else, not by those he has in common with apes, fishes, trees, fire, or anything other than himself.

American Scientist

Tate Reeves

A culture of love and kinship has knitted Mississippi families together, and tied them to each other, for ages. It is what makes us special in a fast-paced and transient world. I will defend that culture against the erosion that frays societies.

Use 'kinship' to stress the importance of family-related connections over just friendship.

Family Emphasis

Kinship doesn't always mean a good relationship; it can simply mean a family connection that exists.

Not Always Positive

In anthropology, 'kinship' is used to discuss human bonds, often as part of social structure studies.

Anthropology Usage

Kinship sometimes has legal importance regarding inheritance or custody rights, based on family ties.

Legal Implications

'Kinship' can express a shared sense of identity or experience between groups, not just individuals.

Common Ground

Kinship may be used metaphorically to describe relationships or feelings not based on actual family ties.

Metaphorical Use

'Kinship' can also reference a connection one feels with animals, nature, or even objects.
