I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are.

I always ask two questions: How many countries have military bases in the United States? And in how many countries does the United States not have military bases?

Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.

If we cannot live entirely like human beings, at least let us do everything in our power not to live entirely like animals.

Things will be very bad for Latin America. You only have to consider the ambitions and the doctrines of the empire, which regards this region as its backyard.

This is the effect of panic, a natural effect, you could say that animal nature is like this, plant life would behave in exactly the same way, too, if it did not have all those roots to hold it in the ground, and how nice it would be to see the trees of the forest fleeing the flames.

Words have their own hierarchy, their own protocol, their own artistic titles, their own plebeian stigmas.
