I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying. I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

Traducao (Portugues)

Acho que se resume a uma escolha simples, na verdade. Ocupar-se em viver ou ocupar-se em morrer. Estou tão animado que mal consigo ficar parado ou manter um pensamento. Acho que é a empolgação que só um homem livre pode sentir. Um homem livre no início de uma longa jornada cujo final é incerto. Espero conseguir atravessar a fronteira. Espero ver meu amigo e apertar sua mão. Espero que o Pacífico seja tão azul quanto nos meus sonhos. Eu espero.
