John Steinbeck
“[...] Un hombre puede retener la tierra mientras pueda comer y pagar los impuestos; puede hacerlo.

Sí, puede hacerlo, hasta que un día una cosecha de pierda y tenga que pedir un préstamo al Banco

Pero..., ya lo ve usted, un Banco o una Compañía no puede hacer hacer eso, pues esas criaturas no respiran aire, no comen carne. Respiran dividendos..., comen el interés sobre el capital. Si no los tienen, mueren..., como moriría usted si le faltase el aire, si no comiese. Es desagradable, pero es así. Así es.”
― John Steinbeck, Las uvas de la ira Tomo I

John Steinbeck
“—Todos tenemos que vivir.
—Sí —dijo Tom—, sólo que sería muy agradable ganarse la vida sin quitársela a nadie.”
― John Steinbeck, Las uvas de la ira Tomo I

Carl Sagan
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

John Steinbeck
“Y por otra parte, los grandes propietarios que han de perder su tierra en un alzamiento, los grandes propietarios con acceso a la Historia, con ojos para leer la Historia y conocer el gran hecho: cuando la propiedad es acumulada en muy pocas manos termina por ser arrebatada. Y este hecho gemelo: cuando la mayoría del pueblo tiene hambre y frío, tomarán por la fuerza lo que necesiten. Y ese hecho pequeño que resalta en toda la Historia: la represión sirve sólo para fortalecer y unir a los oprimidos. Los grandes propietarios ignoran estos tres gritos de la Historia. La tierra recayó en un número menor de personas, aumentó el número de los desposeídos, y todos los esfuerzos de los grandes propietarios fueron dirigidos a la represión. Se gastó el dinero en armas, en gases para proteger las grandes posesiones, y se enviaron espías a recoger los murmullos de revuelta para que pudiera ser sofocada. Se prescindió de la eocnomía evolutiva, no se hicieron planes para el cambio y sólo se consideraron los medios para destruir la revuelta mientras subsistían las causas.”
― John Steinbeck, Las uvas de la ira Tomo I

Donald A. Norman
“human error usually is a result of poor design: it should be called system error. Humans err continually; it is an intrinsic part of our nature. System design should take this into account. Pinning the blame on the person may be a comfortable way to proceed, but why was the system ever designed so that a single act by a single person could cause calamity? Worse, blaming the person without fixing the root, underlying cause does not fix the problem: the same error is likely to be repeated by someone else. I”
