Quotes by Francisco Coloane (?)

“Ci sono paesaggi, come certi istanti della vita, che non si possono cancellare mai dalla mente; tornano sempre ad attraversarci dal di dentro, con intensità ogni volta più forte. E volgere l’ultimo sguardo al mare fu uno di questi; avevamo voltato la testa per non perdere l’estrema visione di quella speranza e addentrarci definitivamente nella terra dell’oblio.”
― Francisco Coloane, Tierra del Fuego

“- Nous sommes comme les glaces, dit Manuel à voix basse. La vie nous fait parfois chavirer et nous change de forme.”
