Amor Quote by José Emilio Pacheco
““Qué idiotez sentir celos, cómo voy a exigir fidelidad a quien no tiene compromiso alguno conmigo, ni siquiera soñó en este encuentro, sería terrible enamorarme de ella, qué diablos, siempre me pasa lo mismo, en vez de gozar del presente ya me entristece la futura nostalgia por el ahora que no volverá””
