Earth Quotes
-
The desert takes our dreams away from us, and they don't always return. We know that, and we are used to it.

They become the Soul of the World.

She was all of these things and of something more...It was what God or whatever is His equivalent puts into each soul that is given life - the one different thing such as that which makes no two fingerprints on the face of the earth alike.
