Karl Marx

St. Augustine

Eduardo Galeano

Eduardo Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent

St. Augustine

Mary McCarthy
“Foreknowledge of the consequences of an act that is then performed generally argues the will to do it; if this occurs repeatedly, and the doer continues to protest that he did not will the consequences, this suggests an extreme and dangerous disassociation of the personality.”
Mary McCarthy
