Charlotte Rogan Quotes

“I had been allowed to believe in mans innate goodness for the twenty-two years of my life, and I had hoped to carry the belief with me to my grave.

“When we are babies ... we need an authoritative figure to guide and take care of us. We ask no questions about that authority and imagine that the small circumference of family life is the limit of the universe ... As we mature, our horizon expands and we begin to question. This continues until we either throw over our creators

After all, I have already taken the measure of my own insignificance, and I survived.”

— Charlotte Rogan

“And I wondered, not for the first time, if some of life's tragedy arose when people put themselves in situations they were not by nature suited for.”
