Amor Quote by Alexandru Paleologu

“Exista de cand lumea o categorie de oropsitori ai vietii, fanatici care interzic fericirea, osandesc placerea, detesta rasul si persecuta inteligenta. Ei obtin întotdeauna stima imbecililor si izbutesc recurent sa instaleze o forma sau alta de teroare.” quote by Alexandru Paleologu
