    “... no human being is master of his fate, and ... we are all motivated far more than we care to admit by characteristics inherited from our ancestors which individual experiences of childhood can modify, repress, or enhance, but cannot erase.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    “Even though fathers, grandparents, siblings, memories of ancestors are important agents of socialization, our society focuses on the attributes and characteristics of mothers and teachers and gives them the ultimate responsibility for the child’s life chances.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    “Our ancestors ... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice has placed them.”
