Quotes About Love
Quando ci si sente innamorati, si vuole vivere per sempre. Si vagheggia che l'emozione, l'entusiasmo che si prova, duri. Leggere in italiano mi provoca una brama simile. Non voglio morire perché la mia morte significherebbe la fine della mia scoperta della lingua. Perché ogni giorno ci sarà una nuova parola da imparare. Così il vero amore può rappresentare l'eternità.
