Jostein Gaarder Quotes About Understanding

• La vida es corta para quienes son realmente capaces de comprender que un día el mundo entero llegará a su fin. No todo el mundo es capaz de eso. No todo el mundo tiene la capacidad de comprender lo que implica realmente partir para toda la eternidad. Hay demasiadas distracciones, hora a hora, minuto a minuto, que impiden tal comprensión.
