Sarah Addison Allen

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after.

Taylor Swift

I realized that searching for a mentor has become the professional equivalent of waiting for Prince Charming. We all grew up on the fairy tale "Seeping Beauty," which instructs young women that if they just wait for their prince to arrive, they will be kissed and whisked away on a white horse to live happily ever after. Now young women are told that if they can just find the right mentor, they will be pushed up the ladder and whisked away to the corner office to live happily ever after. Once again, we are teaching women to be too dependent on others.

He's gonna love me forever, and I'm gonna love him forever, and it's gonna be real easy. And it's so different than that.

People in the real world would kill for a happily ever after, and you're willing to just throw it away ?" I look away from her. "It's hardly a happily ever after when you wind up right at the beginning.

Jodi Picoult

I think sometimes people believe what they want to believe. I personally thought I was going to marry Elton John. I was so out of my mind that I really thought that someday I'd meet him and we'd fall in love and live happily ever after.

She immersed herself in books because there she could be anyone and it was easy to believe in love and happily ever after
