Amor Quote by Patrick Rothfuss
““Estaba sentado, quieto como una estatua, y me dolían los dedos. Quería tocar, no escuchar. «Quería» no es un verbo suficientemente intenso. Me moría de ganas de tocar. No me enorgullezco de haberme planteado robarle el laúd y marcharme de allí aprovechando la oscuridad de la noche.””
