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

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

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

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

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