Different places Quote by Deborah Rix
““We're all here. We all came from different places and for different reasons, but we all have to choose how we're going to deal with this same set of circumstances. Some choose evil. Some choose indifference to evil. Some choose good, to do the best they can. And some choose to be even better than their best.””
