Quote by Thomas Hardy

“Era una di quelle sere in cui la tristezza può impossessarsi delle persone più allegre senza che ciò provochi alcuna sorpresa; quando negli emotivi l'amore si trasforma in angoscia, la fiducia in desiderio e la speranza precipita nell'apprensione; quando il ricordo non suscita alcun rimpianto per le occasioni che ci sono sfuggite e l'attesa non induce all'azione.”

Quote by Thomas Hardy

Jede ihrer Beziehungen war bisher daran zerbrochen.”
