Arrogant Quote by Robin Sacredfire
““I've been called arrogant three times in my life. First, when I told my mother I have the right not to talk to her; Second, when I became a bestselling author and wrote about it; Third, when I started talking about what I wrote. People will always use any stone they can find to stop you from being yourself, from going somewhere, from doing something they can't.””
