Acquired Traits

Famous quotes containing the words acquired and/or traits:

    Lloyd: That bitter cynicism of yours is something you’ve acquired since you left Radcliffe.
    Karen: That cynicism you refer to I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.
    Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
