About This Quote

A fairy-tale ending is exactly what many of us dream about. We imagine being saved by a handsome prince, falling in love with him, and living happily ever after. The problem is that it’s not reality. And the truth is that if the handsome prince does show up, you don’t have to kick him in the ham-and-eggs to keep him away.
