Reader | 1 comments I believe this quote to be incorrect: the last word should be **immortal** - not mortal
“To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal for they are ignorant of death; what is
divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is mortal. => immortal”

the original Spanish is "Ser inmortal es baladí; menos el hombre, todas las criaturas lo son, pues ignoran la muerte; lo divino, lo terrible, lo incomprensible, es saberse inmortal."

Done. Thanks for providing the quote in the original language.

I will have to come back to this though as for me it looks like the book title is in the same field as the author name. Hopefully all it is that I need more coffee.
