Quote by G.K. Chesterton
“La valentía es una contradicción en términos. Consiste en un fuerte deseo de vivir que adopta la forma de una especie de disposición a morir. Un soldado rodeado de enemigos, si quiere escapar, necesitará combinar un fuerte deseo de vivir con una extraña despreocupación por la muerte. Debe buscar la vida con una furiosa independencia; debe desearla como si fuese agua y beber la muerte como si fuera vino.”
― G.K. Chesterton ,
