For me, places have a tremendous impact. I fall in love with places. All of life seems different in different places.
Anne Rice
Image
Life itself must be founded upon the infinite possibility for choice and accident. And if we cannot prove that it is, we must believe that it is. We must believe that we can change, that we can control, that we can direct our own destinies.
Anne Rice
