Ambiguity Quote by Melissa Pritchard

“A real love story is sometimes exhausting. A romance is deliberately constructed to yield a certain result; the ambiguities are trimmed out, so it's neater and more pleasing to our hearts. But you don't live a love story, you live a life.” quote by Melissa Pritchard — Download Open image
