Oggi voglio condividere con voi questa mia passione e ho preso dallo scaffale della mia bibloteca un libro che mi ha emozionato con la sua struggente tenerezza. Poche pagine che toccheranno il vostro cuore con la loro intensità. Buona lettura!
Oscar e la Dama in Rosa di Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
"La vita è uno strano regalo.
All’inizio lo si sopravvaluta, si crede di aver ricevuto la vita eterna.
Dopo lo si sottovaluta, lo si trova scadente, troppo corto, si sarebbe quasi pronti a gettarlo.
Infine ci si rende conto che non era un regalo, ma solo un prestito.
Then you try to deserve it. "
