"Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads, with a woman who feels too much, with a woman who writes… Don’t fall in love with an educated, magician, delirious, crazy woman. Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, who knows what she knows and also knows to fly; a woman secure of herself. Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love, who knows how to turn her flesh into spirit; and don’t fall in love with one who loves poetry (those are the most dangerous) or with one who spends half an hour staring at a painting and can’t live without music. Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics; and with one who is rebel and suffers an immense pain about injustice. One who enjoys football matches and ball games and don´t like television at all. Not even with a woman who is gorgeous in spite of her face or her body. Don’t even fall in love with an intense, joyful and lucid and irreverent woman. Don’t want to fall in love with a woman like that, because when you fall in love with a woman like that one, she stays or not with you, she loves you or not; from her, from a woman like that, you NEVER come back."
