“If a prince on a white horse actually appeared in front of me...I think I'd like to see him fall off that horse. But..if he wasn't a prince on a white horse to begin with...what would I want then?”
“I am not waiting for a prince on a white horse. I am waiting for you... So why don't you kiss me?”

“As far as boyfriends were concerned, I dated, had a lot ofmeaningless relationships and that was pretty much it. It was reallyhard to find a decent guy. A guy that would be worthwhile. Theywere all great in the beginning, sweet and caring, sensitive andromantic. But if you scratched deeper, you would find NOTHING.Plenty of nothing. Sometimes one might even be surprised just howmuch nothing there was, but not me. No. Somehow, I had learnedto brace myself for the worst. But, to be honest, it wasn’t alwaysthe case. Some of the guys weren’t that empty beneath the surface,some even proved to be quite the opposite. True-Prince-charmingkind of guys... And their girlfriends! They were even more charmingprincesses when they found out. Well, I guess we all have our littleflaws... So, after some time, I was finally coming to terms with thegenuine truth that there was no such thing as a perfect boyfriend.On the other hand, Melina was waiting for her prince on awhite horse, and was honestly expecting him to show up single. Nomatter how many times I’d tried to convince her that all a girl getsfrom that prince-on-a-white-horse fairytale is actually and inevitablya horse and no prince, she never believed that.”

“He is dressed in a long, white robe and in his hand is a white cap. I draw up as he passes down the hall; he does not see me. Shortly I hear a horse leaving. There is much I do not know about him, but tonight I know one of his secrets. He is a midnight rider.”
