Dagger Quote by Ann Lister

“That’s where I get my inspiration,” Dagger said. “I’m surrounded on a daily basis with a constant supply of dysfunction, hate, love – you name it. I’ve either lived it, dreamed it, or watched someone else be consumed by it. Let’s just say, I don’t have to go far to be inspired.” quote by Ann Lister
