Friends and family Quote by Rachel Sandene
““I am a writer. I have been a writer my whole life. Words are the only things I have ever believed in. These words… They are a part of me. And they always will be. You can take away everything I own. You can take away my money, my friends and family and strangers I have met once. You can take away my love, my hate, my happiness and sorrow. You can take away my memories, my past and present and future. You can take away my life. You can take away everything. But you can never take away these words. You can never take away the fact that I am a writer.””
