    Augusto Monterroso
    “ En un lejano país existió hace muchos años una oveja negra.
    Fue fusilada.
    Un siglo después, el rebaño arrepentido le levantó una estatua ecuestre que quedó muy bien en el parque.
    Así, en lo sucesivo, cada vez que aparecían ovejas negras eran rápidamente pasadas por las armas para que las futuras generaciones de ovejas comunes y corrientes pudieran ejercitarse también en la escultura.”
    ― Augusto Monterroso, La oveja negra y demás fábulas

    Michael Ende
    “People never seemed to notice that, by saving time, they were losing something else. No one cared to admit that life was becoming ever poorer, bleaker and more monotonous. The ones who felt this most keenly were the children, because no one had time for them any more. But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart. And the more people saved, the less they had.”
