Amor Quote by Haruki Murakami

“Esperar a que sucediera algo. Siempre había sido así. Cuando se llega a un punto muerto, no hay que precipitarse. Si se espera pacientemente, algo sucede. Algo llega. Sólo hay que abrir los ojos y esperar en la penumbra a que algo empiece a moverse.” quote by Haruki Murakami
