Quotes About Fast

In that case, where are all the souls? Left behind.

This was just so sad, as three days before, perhaps the mother was still taking the baby around to play and to drink water.

Without the protection of the mother, the baby elephant is likely to die too. That moment changed me.

To centralize power in the name of freedom is akin to putting a crime syndicate in charge of rooting out corruption.
