“Que din os rumorosos
na costa verdescente
ao raio transparente
do pracido luar?
Que din as altas copas
de escuro arume arpado
co seu ben compasado
monotono fungar?
Do teu verdor cinguido
e de benignos astros
confin de verdes castros
e valeroso chan
non des a esquencemento
da inxuria o rudo encono
desperta do teu sono
Fogar de Breogan”
― Eduardo Pondal

“Verde que te quiero verde.
Verde viento.Verdes ramas.
El barco sobre la mar
y el caballo en la montaña.
Con la sombra en la cintura
ella sueña en su baranda,
verde carne,pelo verde,
con ojos de fria plata.”
― Federico García Lorca

“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“1.Nuclear weapons are immensely destructive and any use would be a catastrophe.
2.If the peoples of the world fully undrestood the inherent dangers of nuclear weapons and the consecuences of their use,they would reject them and not permit their continued posession by or acquisition of by goverments even for an alleged self- defense.”
