Juan Villoro
Su primera manifestación multitudinaria ocurrió en el Estadio Azteca, durante la inauguración del Mundial de 1986. El presidente Miguel de la Madrid tardó en aceptar ayuda internacional para no debilitar la ‘imagen de México’ y fue rebasado por las iniciativas ciudadanas. En el comienzo de el mundial recibió un abucheo sin precedentes. Fue el primer signo de que la mayoría de los habitantes del D.F. no iban a soportar más gobiernos del PRI.
Juan Villoro, 8.8: El miedo en el espejo

Stanisław Lem
It was not that the ocean depths served the creatures there with darkness, to protect them from attack--a darkness they could light, as they needed, with luminescence--but vice versa: the darkness gave rise to those that were pressure-resistant and could illuminate themselves.
Stanisław Lem, Fiasco: A Haunting Science Fiction Novel of First Contact Where Dark Poetry Descends into a Nightmare of Misunderstanding
