Quote by Paolo Sorrentino

“Perder el tiempo, ociosamente, para descubrir poco a poco todo lo que la vida tiene para ofrecernos: la amistad, el sexo, el dolor, la inseguridad, la vorágine, el enamoramiento, el resentimiento, la envidia de aquel que se ha quedado solo porque aquellos dos se están besando.”
