“Te pediré entonces tan sólo que explotes bien el milagro de haber nacido, y que no cedas nunca a la cobardía, que es una bestía que siempre está en acecho. Nos muerde a todos, cada día, y son pocos los que no se dejan despedazar por ella en nombre de la prudencia, de la conveniencia y a veces la sensatez.”
