Quote by Amos Oz

“Y nos han acostumbrado a no alegrarnos de lo que tenemos, sino a alegrarnos única y exclusivamente de lo que poseemos nosotros y no tienen los demás. Y aún peor, nos han acostumbrado desde pequeños a mantener todo tipo de ideas venenosas que empiezan siempre por las palabras” quote by Amos Oz — Download Open image
