So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

A guy who is crazily, madly in love with you. A guy who sees how incredible and amazing you are, even though you're not the cheerleader or even close to the prettiest girl in the school. A guy who thinks you're beautiful, just the way you are. ~Candace Bushnell
#quotes #candace-bushnell #beauty #love
