Amor Quote by Arthur Miller
““¡Porque ahí está mi nombre! ¡Porque no tendré otro mientras viva! ¡Porque he mentido y he firmado mentiras! ¡Porque no merezco besar el polvo que pisan los pies de los que van a ser ahorcados! ¿Cómo voy a vivir sin mi nombre? ¡Le he entregado el alma, déjeme al menos mi nombre!””
