Émile Durkheim
“Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
Émile Durkheim

T.S. Eliot
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.

—T.S. Eliot, from “Little Gidding,” Four Quartets (Gardners Books; Main edition, April 30, 2001) Originally published 1943.”
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Émile Durkheim
“One does not advance when one walks toward no goal, or - which is the same thing - when his goal is infinity.”
Émile Durkheim, Suicide: A Study in Sociology

William S. Burroughs
“America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil. Before the settlers, before the Indians... the evil was there... waiting.”
William S. Burroughs

Eduardo Galeano
“Latin America is the region of open veins. Everything from the discovery until our times, has always been transmuted into European--or later--United States-- capital, and as such has accumulated on distant centers of power. Everything: the soil, its fruits nad its mineral-rich depths, the people and their capacity to work and to consume, natural resources and human resources.”
Eduardo Hughes Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent
