Text Quotes
I hope my ancient ancestors would be proud of my bargain hunting and gathering skills  (Ancestors Quotes) Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages  (Ancestors Quotes) Sometimes the ancestors deem certain information so important that they send it to the subconscious mind without being consciously asked  (Ancestors Quotes) The kind of ancestors we have had is not as important as the kind of descendants our ancestors have  (Ancestors Quotes) Blind impatience is equally evident in the fruit section. Our ancestors might have delighted in the occasional handful of berries found on the underside of a bush in late summer, viewing it as a sign of the unexpected munificence of a divine creator, but we became modern when we gave up on awaiting sporadic gifts from above and sought to render any pleasing sensation immediately and repeatedly available  (Ancestors Quotes) The equilibrium you admire in me is an unstable one, difficult to maintain. My inner life was split early between the call of the Ancestors and the call of Europe, between the exigencies of black-African culture and those of modern life  (Ancestors Quotes) The key reason why we are richer than our ancestors is that these ancestors have bequeathed us buildings, factories and machines that have given us a high living standard to start with. Driven by irresponsible policy makers, America’s present generation is consuming the nation’s capital  (Ancestors Quotes) Do not throw away your heart. Keep your heart. Your heart is all that matters ... Throw away your ancestors! ... Throw away your shyness and the anger that lies just a few inches beneath ... Accept the truth! And if there is more than one truth, then learn to do the difficult work -- learn to choose. You are good enough, you are HUMAN ENOUGH, to choose!  (Ancestors Quotes) The fact is, we are much more afraid of life than our ancestors, and cannot find it inourhearts either tomarry or not tomarry.Marriage isterrifying, but so is a cold and forlorn old age.  (Ancestors Quotes) All Americans are either immigrants or descendants of ancestors who came from somewhere else, including Native Americans. We should all respect and admire immigrants.  (Ancestors Quotes) Just as our ancient ancestors drew animals on cave walls and carved animals from wood and bone, we decorate our homes with animal prints and motifs, give our children stuffed animals to clutch, cartoon animals to watch, animal stories to read.  (Ancestors Quotes) Human emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors. Cruelty is a gift humanity has given itself.  (Ancestors Quotes) It was through cooking food and sharing it with each other that our ancestors learned how to become social animals.  (Ancestors Quotes) When two sides who consider each other enemies converge in armed struggle, for the moment they are no longer enemies. They are fellow human beings who face the same two choices that their ancestors did for centuries before them: to destroy each other or to prosper together.  (Ancestors Quotes) I think my ancestors had to be enormously strong emotionally and very courageous  (Ancestors Quotes) When I was a child, my parents took my brothers and me to Port-au-Prince during the summer so we could get to know the country of our ancestors. Because Haiti is an island, the beach is everywhere. Haitians are particular, even snobby, about beaches.  (Ancestors Quotes) I went to Cork, Ireland, and stood on the dock some of my ancestors had left from. I felt their ghosts gather round me, and I cried to imagine what it must have felt like - leaving that beautiful land and those beloved people, knowing it was forever.  (Ancestors Quotes) I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against.  (Ancestors Quotes) That’s our charge as ancestors of unborn generations: to once again become free  (Ancestors Quotes) Sometimes the ancestors deem certain information so important that they send it to the subconscious mind without being consciously asked.  (Ancestors Quotes) The larger question is, as virologist Jonas Salk once asked, Are we being good ancestors?  (Ancestors Quotes) It is possible that strong levels of belief in God, gods, spirits or the supernatural might have given our ancestors considerable comforts and advantages.  (Ancestors Quotes) A man’s life from birth to death was a series of transition rites which brought him nearer and nearer to his ancestors.  (Ancestors Quotes) We all stand on the shoulders of our ancestors. We’re in a relay race, relying on the financial and human capital of our parents and grandparents. Blacks were shackled for the early part of that relay race, and although many of the fetters have come off, whites have developed a huge lead.  (Ancestors Quotes) Our ancestors relied upon their advanced brains to survive during times of food shortage, and fortunately, the human brain is able to utilize body fat as an extremely efficient fuel to sustain function when glucose-providing food is unavailable.  (Ancestors Quotes) I just feel that ‘The Color Purple,’ which was my 10th book, was a true gift from my ancestors.  (Ancestors Quotes) Breathing air is a liberating experience. It freed our ancestors from the constraints of staying wet or having to remain within easy reach of water for refuge, respiration or reproduction. But the biggest change it made in our lives was to expose us to a whole new range of sensory experience.  (Ancestors Quotes) We feel closer to the drawings on the walls of Chauvet than the painting of, say, an Egyptian mural. These artists are not remote ancestors; they are brothers. They saw like us; they drew like us. We wear essentially the same clothes against the cold.  (Ancestors Quotes) I traveled to Ireland to research ‘Sandcastles,’ to visit the coastline where my ancestors looked toward America, the tiny town they once loved so much, and the docks from which they sailed toward their dreams of building a better life for their family. The answers I found on that journey are woven through the novel.  (Ancestors Quotes) The ancestors of printed comics drew, painted and carved their time-paths from beginning to end, without interruption, ... the infinite canvas.  (Ancestors Quotes)
