Isabel Allende Quote
Não há nada como o correio, com o seu passo de tartaruga e a sua privacidade, o prazer de esperar o carteiro, de abrir um envelope, de tirar as folhas, que tinham sido dobradas pela minha mãe, e de ler as suas notícias com duas semanas de atraso. Quando eram más já não tinham importância e se eram boas estávamos sempre a tempo de festejar.
