“If the African anthropologist made a point of examining European races “under the magnifying glass,” he would be able to multiply them ad infinitum by grouping physiognomies into races and subraces as artificially as his European counterpart does with regard to Africa. He would, in turn, succeed in dissolving collective European reality into a fog of insignificant facts.”

“The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.”

“Too many people in the U.S. support death and destruction without being aware of it. They indirectly support the killing our people without ever having to look at the corpses”

“¿Qué buscas?
preguntó.
No sabría decirlo
susurré:
el perdón
la mandala
ese perdón que es mío
y no puedo otorgarme
que camina conmigo
y no viene de fuera
ese perdón arisco
que retumba en mis sienes
que me oprime
y hace brotar las lágrimas
que lavan.”
― Claribel Alegría
