Life isn’t like the movies. People don’t change overnight. people don’t go from arrogant and self-righteous to ashamed and remorseful. They don’t suddenly give in when they’ve spent years taking out. No doesn’t magically become a Yes.

About This Quote

Life isn't like the movies. People don't change overnight. people don't go from arrogant and self-righteous to ashamed and remorseful. They don't suddenly give in when they've spent years taking out.

No doesn't magically become a Yes. Life is so much more than the movies would show us. The world is full of vivid colors, new experiences, and final moments that will change our lives forever.
