Melanie Sargsian
“I am a realist. I don't believe in fate and destiny is definitely not my thing. You want something? You go right ahead and get it.”
Melanie Sargsian, Lovember: A Collection of Short Love Stories

Lidia Longorio
“A realist’s heart
It is not dead but it isn’t fully alive either
It is not affected by the change of the weather
It is truthful with itself
And does not remain for the taking on the shelf
A realist heart is simply a heart that knows it can stop beating at any minute
Every beat, the realist ought not waste it”
Lidia Longorio, Hey Humanity
