Eduardo Galeano
“There are those who believe destiny rests at the feet of the gods, but the truth is that it confronts the conscious of man with a burning challenge.”
Eduardo Galeano

John     Nichols
“Each person leaves a legacy--a single, small piece of herself, which makes richer each individual life and the collective life of humanity as a whole. But do not despair, for despair is a despicable and bourgeois affectation; we must not allow it. As for what happens next, well, as the Cuban poet Regino Pedroso once said, "como forjamos el hierro, forjaremos días nuevos": as we hammer out iron, we shall hammer out new days.”
John Nichols, The Nirvana Blues

Naomi Klein
“People without memory are putty.”
Naomi Klein

Eduardo Galeano
“Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.”
Eduardo Galeano

Adolfo Bioy Casares
“Under the bludgeonings of fate
My head is bloody, but unbowed.”
Adolfo Bioy Casares, Diario de la guerra del cerdo
