“Memories do not change, and change is the law of existence. If our dead, the closest, the most beloved, were to return to us after a long absence and instead of the old, familiar trees were to find in our souls English gardens and stone walls -- that is to say, other loves, other tastes, other interests, they would gaze upon us sadly and tenderly for a moment, wiping away their tears, and then return to their tombs to rest.”
― Teresa De LA Parra, Las memorias de Mamá Blanca

“The greatness of the enterprise does not always ensure success, but at least ensures glory.”

― Rabih Alameddine

“In the unceasing ebb and flow of justice and oppression we must all dig channels as best we may, that at the propitious moment somewhat of the swelling tide may be conducted to the barren places of life.”
― Jane Addams, Twenty Years at Hull House
