Famous quotes containing the word ancestors:

    “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.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “I have often felt as though I had inherited all the defiance and all the passions with which our ancestors defended their Temple and could gladly sacrifice my life for one great moment in history. And at the same time I always felt so helpless and incapable of expressing these ardent passions even by a word or a poem.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
