"Josefina Pla utiliza argumentos basados en los documentos del Archivo Nacional del Paraguay y en escritos de la época (Azara y Rengger) y no en memorias orales; lo cual nos da un tinte académico pues sólo habla de lo que pueda confirmar. Es muy loable puesto que todo tiene base en pruebas; pero y la parte humanitaria? Se supone que no todo lo que ocurría en el Paraguay se documentaba en el Archivo Nacional." — Jul 18, 2025 07:36AM

"Rodriguez-Alcalá es tan claramente anti-lopizta que resta de sus comentarios negativos hacia el mismo. Todo historiador serio debe presentar los hechos como fueron, y debería tratar de evitar presentar sus ideas personales luego de cada oración redactada. Da la impresión que es anti-lopez más porque Stroessner fue pro-lopez que por cualquier otro motivo. Es una lástima que no pueda presentar ideas balanceadas." — Jul 11, 2016 06:07AM

Old ties give place to new ones.
Euripides. Completely true, then and now.
“There is no passion in your life, my son. You have never loved a woman, nor hated a man, nor pitied a child. You have withdrawn yourself too long and you are a stranger in the human family. You have asked nothing and given nothing. You have never known the dignity of need nor gratitude for a suffering shared. This is your sickness. This is the cross you have fashioned for your own shoulders. This is where your doubts begin and your fears too – because a man who cannot love his fellows cannot love God either.”

“No sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. Do you know where the wicked go after death?"
"They go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer.
"And what is hell? Can you tell me that?"
"A pit full of fire."
"And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?"
"No, sir."
"What must you do to avoid it?"
I deliberated a moment: my answer, when it did come was objectionable: "I must keep in good health and not die.”
