    John Briley (b. 1925)

    ... no human being is master of his fate, and ... we are all motivated far more than we care to admit by characteristics inherited from our ancestors which individual experiences of childhood can modify, repress, or enhance, but cannot erase.

    Horrible experiences lead us to wonder whether the person who experiences them might not be something horrible.
