Quote by V. S. Pritchett
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker's family sees their personal history as starting from the moment of their birth. They disregard anything that happened before their birth, considering it to be tales or legends without any real relevance to their existence. This perspective indicates that the family values their own individual experience and identity more than the collective history or stories of their ancestors. They prioritize their own lived experiences over the narratives of the past.
