W. Bruce Cameron
American Author
You'd think skiing wouldn't be strenuous - all you have to do, after all, is start at the top and let gravity pull you to the dessert bar in the lodge. But at those elevations, you'll find about as much oxygen as you'll find kindness from your children. It's like spending six hours holding your breath.
Quote examples
Lili Reinhart
American Actress

Quote examples
Zoe Perry
American Actress
