Amor Quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Ninguna ley del mundo obliga a las personas a amar a sus semejantes, ninguna ley natural impone al hombre el amor a la humanidad; si el amor había reinado en la tierra no se debía a ninguna ley natural, sino a la creencia en la inmortalidad.” quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
