Alone Quotes
-
Not alone to know, but to act according to thy knowledge, is thy destination,--proclaims the voice of my inmost soul.

My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.
