Another Reason Why I like Anne Hathaway aka Quote of the Day

I'm a big fan of quotes as you read about here and here.

So when I came across this quote from Anne Hathaway (btw- who I think is one of the best actresses from my generation AND managed to transition from the Princess and Ella Enchanted movies successfully to mature adult fils as we are watching Dakota Fanning do the same- makes me happy to see successful actresses!) and I just had to post it:

"I was talking with someone the other day about the whole idea of kissing frogs," she tells USA Today. "You're told you've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince. But what they don't tell you is that you're going to kiss a lot of princes as well, but they're not going to be your prince. You find someone great, but that doesn't mean they're great for you." Anne then sensibly adds, "By the way, I am not the person to talk to about relationship advice."

It goes along with my current attitude towards dating and relationships- which is that right now I either want a) something very, very casual without commitment or b) someone to date because I feel strongly about them. My reasoning behind this is similar to what Anne said- just because you fall in love or have found a prince it doesn't mean that you'll end up happily ever after. Maybe it's because he's not your prince or maybe he isn't the best for you.

Some time ago, I read somewhere that someone said, "Just because you're a great girl and he's a great guy, doesn't mean that the two of you are great together or that he or she is great for you."

And at the end of the day, I wish for everyone to find his or her great guy or girl because everyone (most everyone) deserves to be happy and well, to love and be loved is one of the best things that exist in this world. Whether it be: a great guy for a great guy or a great girl for a great girl or a great guy for a great girl- whatever you want.
