Writers and love

El Love, that "disease" that has so much attributed to us mortals since time immemorial, is undoubtedly one of the favorite subjects of those who dedicate themselves to the wonderful world of art. Singers, painters, sculptors, writers, musicians, ... They have all fallen into the clutches of love on more than one occasion. It is for this reason, why love could not be missing in our pages of Actualidad Literatura.

Today we present some thoughts, reflections and quotes from well-known writers and not so much that they dedicate to that beautiful feeling that tears us apart at the same time that life gives us: writers and love.
