This is a quotation from Act II Scene 3 of The Merchant of Venice, and is said by Jessica, Shylock's daughter:
Alack, what heinous sin is it in me
To be ashamed to be my father's child!
But though I am a daughter to his blood,
I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo,
If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,
Become a Christian and thy loving wife.
Jessica is unhappy at home and hopes to escape by eloping with Lorenzo, which entails stealing a lot of her father's money and abandoning her religion for Lorenzo's. She dislikes her father and knows that it is a "heinous sin" to do so, but she feels that although she is his daughter in the biological sense, "daughter to his blood", that does not mean that she must agree to his lifestyle, or his "manners". As far as they are concerned, she says, she is not his daughter.
