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

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

Eduardo Galeano
“In this world of ours, a world of powerful centers and subjugated outposts, there is no wealth that must not be held in some suspicion.”
Eduardo Galeano

Blas de Otero
“They don't let people see what I write because I write what I see”
Blas De Otero

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
