p.52 - "This moment will just be another story someday."[edit]

This quote is very similar to a lyric from the Puerto Rican band Puya's 1999 album Fundamental. The final line in the Song "Montate" is: "Trata de disfrutar el momento - lo que viene despues es solo un cuento mas" which translates to "Try to enjoy the moment - what comes after is just another story". The album came out 1 month before the book was published, so I don't think it was copied, just a coincidence. Possibly means it was derived from a third source. Sublium
