#quotes #anne-robinson #clothing #mother

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved.

She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson
