Juan Viale Rigo
“El problema de nuestra sociedad, es que aún cuando estamos abajo, necesitamos de alguien que esté peor para que nos recuerde que no estamos tan mal. Pero eso no cambia el lugar en donde estamos, solo hace más llevadera nuestra miseria.”
Juan Viale Rigo, Último Año

“Those who do not forget the state's losses wanted to forget the children executed by organizations.”
Aytekin Yılmaz, Ernesto'nun Dağları
