Says People Quote by Josh Sundquist
““...but in case you ever start feeling attracted to me, you should know that for whatever reason, society wouldn't say I'm beautiful? Because that's all it is, right? Society or the media or whoever says people should look a certain way, and the more you deviate from that, the less beautiful you are.””
