“Did they live happily ever after?
HAHAHAHAHA. No.”

“No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.”

“I think we ought to live happily ever after.”

“What did a happy ending even mean in real life, anyway? In stories you simply said, 'They lived happily ever after,' and that was it. But in real life people had to keep on living, day after day, year after year.”

“There's nothing quite as good as folding up into a book and shutting the world outside. If I pick the right one I can be beautiful, or fall in love, or live happily ever after. Maybe even all three.”

“It is only possible to live happily ever after on a daily basis.”

“Some people never find it
Some only pretend
But I just want to live
Happily ever after, now and then”
