I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

A guy who is crazily, madly in love with you. A guy who sees how incredible and amazing you are, even though you're not the cheerleader or even close to the prettiest girl in the school. A guy who thinks you're beautiful, just the way you are. ~Candace Bushnell
#quotes #candace-bushnell #beauty #love
