Wavering, dithering, or passive hysterical fear will only intensify or prolong pursuit.”

“The distance often makes it clear how true a love is. Those who love deeply never fear a storm, they only fear that love will go out.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: (it) La distanza spesso fa capire quanto sia vero un amore. Chi ama profondamente non teme mai una tempesta, teme solo che l'amore si spenga.
