“The importance not just of history, but of roots - that a writer must have then to nurture, to remember if he is to endure.”

“We cannot be rooted in the past forever. We must not be sentimental.”

“To THOSE who want to lift this nation from the dungheap of history, the past does not matter — only the present, the awareness of the deadening rot which surrounds and suffocates us, and what we must do to vanquish it.”

“While violence is necessary, it is not the only instrument for change. There are others just as good. But you must accept violence- you cannot begin to build until you have destroyed. You don't know love until you have hated.”

“‎Sometimes we have to lie so that we do not needlessly hurt others. The important thing is that we are honest with ourselves. That we know how to bend without breaking ourselves. -Crepusculo Lepidoptera”

“Literature suffers because writers give their books to colleagues who will then write glowing reviews or saccharine introductions.”

“Just because you have so much to give does not mean that they'll all be accepted. There's more to giving than just giving.”
