"A little while and I will be gone from among you. Whither, I cannot tell. From nowhere we came; into nowhere we go.

-

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."

Cheef Crowfoot (1930-1890)
