Quote #10
THATCHER: Yes. My firm had been appointed trustees by Mrs. Kane for the fortune, which she had recently acquired. It was her wish that I should take charge of this boy, Charles Foster Kane.
There's little doubt that Charles Kane's exile from home at a young age has a big effect on his personality later in life. After all, he spends his whole life trying to get back the love and innocence he lost as a boy. But since he only knows the world of money, he tries to use money to get people's love… and it never works.
