Quotes by Hernando Téllez (?)

“Maldita la hora en que vino, porque yo soy un revolucionario pero no soy un asesino. Y tan fácil como resultaría matarlo. Y lo merece. ¿Lo merece? No, ¡qué diablos! Nadie merece que los demás hagan el sacrificio de convertirse en asesinos. ¿Qué se gana con ello? Pues nada. Vienen otros y otros y los primeros matan a los segundos y éstos a los terceros y siguen y siguen hasta que todo es un mar de sangre.”
― Hernando Téllez, Espuma y nada más

“Confound the hour he entered my shop! I am a revolutionary but not a murderer. And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No! No one deserves the sacrifice others make in becoming assassins. What is to be gained by it? Nothing. Others and still others keep coming, and the first kill the second and then these kill the next, and so on until everything becomes a sea of blood.”
