Quote by Paulo Coelho

I am going to sit here in the river. If you go home to sleep, I will sleep in front of your house. And if you go away, I will follow you--until you tell me to go away. Then I'll leave. But I have to love you for the rest of my life..

I am going to sit here in the river. If you go home to sleep
