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 peopleโs flames are so still they donโt 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 canโt look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.
Eduardo GaleanoThe tree of life knows that, whatever happens, the warm music spinning around it will never stop. However much death may come, however much blood may flow, the music will dance men and women as long as the air breaths them and the land plows and loves them.
Eduardo GaleanoUtopia is on the horizon. I move two steps closer; it moves two steps further away. I walk another ten steps and the horizon runs ten steps further away. As much as I may walk, I'll never reach it. So what's the point of utopia? The point is this: to keep walking.
