"La imaginación es un modo fundamental de pensar, un medio esencial de convertirse en humano y seguir siéndolo. Es una herramienta mental. En consecuencia, tenemos que aprender"
Ursula K. Le Guin

“Curiously, only 13 percent of those surveyed could correctly identify the source of the following principle: “You must defend those who are helpless and have no hope. Be fair and give justice to the poor and homeless.” Fifty-four percent misattributed it to a variety of contemporary politicians and celebrities, including Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono.
