“Some die because they feel everything, others because they feel nothing. Some are fools because they suffer no regrets, and others because they do.”
Unos mueren porque sienten y otros viven porque no sienten. Y assí, unos son necios porque no mueren de sentimiento, y otros lo son porque mueren de él.
Maxim 208 (p. 118)
