Love Quote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
““At least, Sancho, I want, because it is necessary, I say I want you to see me naked and performing one or two dozen mad acts, which will take me less than half an hour, because if you have seen them with your own eyes, you can safely swear to any others you might wish to add, and I assure you that you will not recount as many as I intend to perform.” “For the love of God, Señor, don’t let me see your grace naked, for that will make me feel so bad I won’t be able to stop crying,””
