“Todo termina y, ¿qué importa que termine un poco antes o un poco después puesto que de todos modos termina? Todo lo que termina es breve. ¿Y acaso será un mal el que la vida sea breve? No, porque la brevedad es la que la hace preciosa.”
Hans Ruesch, País de las sombras largas

Hans Ruesch, Top of the World
