Faith Quote by Rob Parnell
““The idea that we are buffeted by our environment, faith in artificial human edifices or indeed, the people around us, is a self-imposed and self-sustaining illusion. We are always free to do exactly as we please - as long as we're prepared to endure the consequences of our decisions - which most of us simply aren't.””
