“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 a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a 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.”

Comment attributed to Crowfoot (1830-1890), a chief of the Blackfoot Indians based in the US States of Montana and Alberta, in a speech bidding adieu to his people on 25 April 1890.
