Famous quotes containing the words true and/or heir:
“Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But forced to qualify or so I feel....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“We do the same thing to parents that we do to children. We insist that they are some kind of categorical abstraction because they produced a child. They were people before that, and they’re still people in all other areas of their lives. But when it comes to the state of parenthood they are abruptly heir to a whole collection of virtues and feelings that are assigned to them with a fine arbitrary disregard for individuality.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
