What is life? It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."

Crowfoot,
Chief in the Blackfoot Confederacy

These were Crowfoot's last words before he died of tuberculosis in 1890
