Careful Quote by Tananarive Due
““If we’re not careful, the time may come when we can’t help anyone—and I mean soon. My skin crawls when I think about how many people know about us, and they’re not all going to come and say ‘Please.’ God has been with us so far, but we can’t be naive. Even God says not to test Him by being foolish.””
