Amor Quote by Matt Haig
““Umanii faceau mereu lucruri pe care nu la placea sa le faca. De fapt, in conformitate cu cea mai buna estimare a mea, in orice moment dat, doar 0.3 procente dintre umani faceau, in mod activ, ceva ce le placea sa faca si, chiar si cand o faceau, simteau o cantitate arzatoare de vina in legatura cu asta si isi promiteau, cu ravna lor insisi ca se vor reintoarce la a face ceva oribil de neplacut foarte, foarte curand.””
