Quotes About Everywhere

Home. One place is just like another, really. Maybe not. But truth is it's all just rock and dirt and people are roughly the same. I was born up there but I'm no stranger here.

And, of course, if you happen to be near any of the more ancient forests, not just in Europe; then, you are in touch with the source itself.
