To write for posterity is not to worry whether they will read us tomorrow.
It is to aspire to a certain quality of writing.
Even when no one reads us.

    The original Spanish is:

    Escribir para la posteridad no es ansiar que nos lean mañana.
    Es aspirar a una determinada calidad de escritura.
    Aun cuando nadie nos lea.
