It happens to everyone, " she assured Princess Stephanie."It does?" Stephanie doubted it." Sure. Everyone's someone else sometimes. Everyone transforms. Maybe not in quite the same way as you, but that's sort of the point. The curse - if you will - it happens to everyone, but not to any two people in the same way. And no one likes it, no matter who's waiting inside. Laurie Frankel
About This Quote

The idea that everyone has a different experience of a curse, and no two people have the same experience of a curse, is a very common sentiment. This observation is the reason why the word "curse" means nothing. It means nothing because everyone has a different experience of life, so it is impossible to know what anyone else's curse is.
