“La muerte espera al más valiente, al más rico, al más bello. Pero los iguala al más cobarde, al más pobre, al más feo, no en el simple hecho de morir, ni siquiera en la conciencia de la muerte, sino en la ignorancia de la muerte. Sabemos que un día vendrá, pero nunca sabemos lo que es.”
—Carlos Fuentes (11 de noviembre de 1928 - 15 de mayo de 2012)
“Death awaits the most valient, the most wealthy, the most beautiful. But death makes them equal to the most cowardly, the poorest, the ugliest, not simply in the simple fact of dying, not even in knowing death, but in the ignorance of death. We know that one day it will come, but we never know what it is.”
—Carlos Fuentes (November 11, 1928 - May 15, 2012)
