Umberto Eco
“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”
Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum

James Baldwin
“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”
James Baldwin
