“El hombre no conoce la dignidad de la desesperación definitiva sino es con el indigno motivo de haber de morir; con sus juguetes de la ciencia, del arte, del progreso (la más estúpida de sus ideas), de la reforma social, que le parecen tan graves y que adula y realza utilizando el contraste con la frivolidad de las preocupaciones femeninas puestas en el bello vestir, lo que solamente pide él es no morir nunca. Es un entretenido y un longevista y por lo tanto un ente sin pasión.”
― Macedonio Fernández
