Quotes by David Rhodes (?)

― David Rhodes, Driftless

“We are not separate, and I want you to know that. We are all part of one thing, and nothing good has ever passed or ever can pass away. There is no way out, but there is a way in, and when one person feels lonely like a ghost it touches us all.”
― David Rhodes, Driftless
