Fairy Quote by Justice Fitzgerald
“Once I thought fairy tales were lies or worse promises spoken yet meant to be broken intent is all. Why do grown ups feel the need to make up a story, only to confess that it was a lie? Why look for a prince when frogs are much more common? Why scramble to disguise what what your personal truth I when reality not only hurts less in the long run but is often the easier path?”
