Enrique Serna
“El ensayo es un teatro de la inteligencia donde una mente organizada y lúcida utiliza recursos pedagógicos para hacer reflexionar al lector común y llevarlo de la mano hasta una conclusión que perdería poder persuasivo si fuera presentada de manera abrupta.”
― Enrique Serna, Genealogía de la soberbia intelectual

Czesław Miłosz
“Pero pocos conocen 1984, de Orwell. Esta obra, difícil de obtener y cuya posesión entraña peligro, solo es conocida por algunos miembros del Partido Interno. Orwell los fascina por su perspicaz visión de detalles que ellos conocen muy bien, así como su uso de la sátira al estilo Swift. Tal manera de escribir ésta prohibida de la Nueva Fe, porque la alegoría, que por su naturaleza implica múltiples significados, violaría las prescripciones del realismo socialista y las exigencias de la censura.”
― Czesław Miłosz, The Captive Mind
