Quote by Frances Conroy

As you age naturally, your family shows more and more on your face. If you deny that, you deny your heritage.

As you age naturally, your family shows more and more on you

Summary

This quote suggests that as one grows older, the influence of their family and heritage becomes more apparent in their physical appearance. By acknowledging and accepting this natural process, one is also acknowledging and accepting their roots and familial connections. Denying the impact of one's family on their face is essentially denying their own background and cultural heritage. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of embracing and honoring one's familial lineage as an integral part of personal identity.
