Good woman Quote by Pablo Neruda
““How long does a man live, after all? Does he live a thousand days, or one only? A week, or several centuries? How long does a man spend dying? What does it mean to say 'for ever'? Lost in these preoccupation I set myself to clear things up. … In my own country the undertakers answered me, between drinks: 'Get yourself a good woman and give up this nonsense.' "And How Long" - Pablo Neruda””
