Eliminating Quote by Mario Vargas Llosa

“The secret to happiness, at least to peace of mind, is knowing how to separate sex from love. And, if possible, eliminating romantic love from your life, which is the love that makes you suffer. That way, I assure you, you live with greater tranquility and enjoy things more.” quote by Mario Vargas Llosa — Download Open image
