Eduardo Galeano
The tree of life knows that, whatever happens, the warm music spinning around it will never stop. However much death may come, however much blood may flow, the music will dance men and women as long as the air breaths them and the land plows and loves them.
Eduardo Galeano, Century of the Wind

No sabía hasta aquel instante que las cascadas y las cataratas son fundamentalmente eso: ruidos enormes que están cayendo sobre sí mismos, sobre el agua y el tiempo, sobre los minutos y los segundos, sobre los siglos, sobre pedazos grandes y pequeños de eternidad.
Alfonso Barrera Valverde, El país de Manuelito
