Famous quotes containing the words world and/or heritage:

    The world was not created once and for all time for each of us individually. There are added to it in the course of our life things of which we have never had any suspicion.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    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)
