Children Quote by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“Have you no respect for the past? For what was thought and believed by your foremothers?” “Why, no,” she said. “Why should we? They are all gone. They knew less than we do. If we are not beyond them, we are unworthy of them—and unworthy of the children who must go beyond us.” quote by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
