• Hay dos tipos de personas. De un tipo, puedes decir simplemente mirándoles en qué punto se fusionaron en su yo final. Puede ser un yo muy agradable, pero sabes que no puedes esperar más sorpresas de él. Mientras que el otro tipo sigue moviéndose, cambiando... Son fluidos. Siguen avanzando y teniendo nuevas citas con la vida, y el movimiento les mantiene jóvenes. En mi opinión, son las únicas personas que siguen vivas. Hay que estar siempre en guardia para no congelarse.
