“ - O amor não se prova, nem se mede. É como Gabriela. Existe, isso basta - falou João Fulgêncio. - O facto de não se compreender ou explicar uma coisa não acaba com ela. Nada sei das estrelas, mas as vejo no céu, são a beleza da noite.”
― Jorge Amado, Gabriela, Clavo y Canela
― Jorge Amado, Gabriela, Clavo y Canela
“Love--the most wonderful and most terrible thing in the world.”
