“فعلى كوكب صغير ، يسير نحو العدم منذ ملايين السنين ، نولد وسط الآلام ونترعرع ، ونجاهد ، ونمرض ، ونتألم ، ونسبب الألم للآخرين ، ونصخب ، ونموت ، يموت أناس ، في حين يولد آخرون ، ليبدأ تكرار الملهاة العقيمة من جديد.”
― Ernesto Sabato, El túnel

“The best consolation in misfortune or affliction of any kind will be the thought of other people who are in a still worse plight than yourself; and this is a form of consolation open to every one. But what an awful fate this means for mankind as a whole!”

“On a tiny planet that has been racing toward oblivion for millions of years, we are born amid sorrow; we grow, we struggle, we grow ill, we suffer, we make others suffer, we cry out, we die, others die, and new beings are born to begin the senseless comedy all over again.”
― Ernesto Sabato, The Tunnel
