Erich Maria Remarque. The life of a loan (№ 215415)

I knew a man who constantly trembled for his life. But in the eighty years he became very cheerful. This change the old man explained that now he will have to shiver for long - because he was ill with arteriosclerosis and he had a heart attack. It is quite another thing before, then he had to make twenty years to thirty, and even forty-forward and it inspired him with such fear that life was not life.
