"...a human rides a horse until it dies, then he goes on afoot. A Comanche comes along, gets that horse up, rides him 20 more miles... and then he eats him."
True words to live by.
True word to live by ?
The essence of the quote for me (at least)... a Comanche is a wild animal that never suffers an ounce of sorrow... whereas a human will embrace suffering.
A paraphrase of D.H. Lawrence I reckon... “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.”
Alan Le May (born 1899) and Lawrence (born 1885)... a different time... a different perspective IMHO.
