Alberta Quote by Cora Sandel
““Sometimes Alberta felt as if there were a conspiracy against her, as if the whole world were in agreement not to say a word. A foolish desire to shake people – But speak out, can’t you – would come over her. If she did not do so, it was because we really can remain on the verge of action for a long time without doing anything.””
