Famous quotes by calvin trillin:
“What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which I’ve read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I can’t remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic ‘You might as well be a mensch.’”
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be ‘Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to’ or ‘No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth’ or ‘We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.’”
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
