If the world is upside down the way it is now, wouldn't we have to turn it over to get it to stand up straight?
Eduardo GaleanoI have never killed anybody, it is true, but it is because I lacked the courage or the time, not because I lacked the desire
Eduardo GaleanoNo history is mute. No matter how much they own it, break it, and lie about it, human history refuses to shut its mouth. Despite deafness and ignorance, the time that was continues to tick inside the time that is.

Eduardo GaleanoGlobalization has considerably accelerated in recent years following the dizzying expansion of communications and transport and the equally stupefying transnational mergers of capital. We must not confuse globalization with "internationalism" though. We know that the human condition is universal, that we share similar passions, fears, needs and dreams, but this has nothing to do with the "rubbing out" of national borders as a result of unrestricted capital movements. One thing is the free movement of peoples, the other of money.
