Cristina's favorite quotes

""colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe.
(public power in the age of empire)"
"
Arundhati Roy

"tambien de este modo como el destino acostumbra a comportarse con nosotros, ya esta pisandonos los talones, ya extendio la mano para tocarnos en el hombro, y nosotros todavia vamos murmurando, Se acabo, no hay nada mas que ver, todo es igual
(el cuento de la isla desconocida)"
— jose saramago

"y esa isla desconocida, si la encuentras sera para mi, a ti rey, solo te interesan las islas conocidas
(el cuento de la isla desconocida)"
— jose saramago

"SI NO SALES DE TI ,NO LLEGAS A SABER QUIEN ERES.
CONSIDERO QUE ESTAR, ENCERRADO EN TI MISMO Y NO MIRAR A TU ALREDEDOR,TE ALEJA DE LA REALIDAD NO PERMITIENDOTE VIVIR.
"
— jose saramago

""........pero quiero encontrar la isla desconocida, quiero saber quien soy you cuando este en ella. No lo sabes, Si no sales de ti, no llegas a saber quien eres.....""
— jose saramago
