When she came to Buenos Aires in 1935, Eva Duarte was no "Santa Lucia shopkeeper," to quote the popular song, and neither did she sing like a lark nor mirror the glory of the day. She was ... nothing, or less than nothing: a sidewalk sparrow, a bonbon bitten into, so skinny it was painful. Passion, memory, and death made her beautiful.

The reason I've been a leading figure in history time and time again, is precisely because I have contradicted myself. You've already heard about [Count von] Schlieffen's strategy. You have to change plans several times a day, pull them out one at a time, as needed. The socialist fatherland? I invented it. The conservative fatherland? I keep it alive. I have to blow in all directions like the cock on the weathervane.
