Death is the inventor of God.

I was born in a family of landless peasants, in Azinhaga, a small village in the province of Ribatejo, on the right bank of the Almonda River, around a hundred kilometres north-east of Lisbon.

I am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.

From literature to ecology, from the escape velocity of galaxies to the greenhouse effect, from garbage disposal methods to traffic jams, everything is discussed in our world. But the democratic system, as if it were a given fact, untouchable by nature until the end of time, we don't discuss that.

It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.

The wise man contents himself with what he has, until such time as he invents something better.
