Beauty Quote by Chris Cleave
““...I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar maker wants us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar doesnot form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.””
