Carolina QuotesWho looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks. I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.

Be courageous and discipline yourself.Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.
