“People who pronounce themselves in favor of the method of legislative reform in place of and in contradistinction to the conquest of political power and social revolution, do not really choose a more tranquil, calmer and slower road to the same goal, but a different goal. Instead of taking a stand for the establishment of a new society they take a stand for surface modifications of the old society. . . . Our program becomes not the realization of Socialism, but the reform of capitalism; not the suppression of the system of wage labor, but the diminution of exploitation, that is, the suppression of the abuses of capitalism instead of the suppression of capitalism itself.”
― Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution

“El culto a Dios es como la extracción de combustibles fósiles -sostuvo uno de ellos-. Es una actividad de mentes cerradas y sin sentido, pero mucha gente inteligente la sigue practicando, porque ha invertido en ella demasiados recursos”
― Dan Brown, Origin
