A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability. [Report to the United States Senate on his trip to Latin America and the Alliance for Progress, May 9-10 1966]
Robert F. Kennedy

Del frío de la madrugada nadie sabe tanto como los ríos. Lo supieron también, por una vez, los tobillos de Manuelito, pero ninguna sensación es mejor que la libertad.
Alfonso Barrera Valverde, El país de Manuelito
