“To survive the Borderlands you must live sin fronteras be a crossroads.”

“There must be a constant and increasing appreciation that though sin still remains it does not have the mastery. There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin.”

“At some point, on our way to a new consciousness, we will have to leave the opposite bank, the split between the two mortal combatants somehow healed so that we are on both shores at once and, at once, see through serpent and eagle eyes. -- Borderlands/La Frontera (1987)”

“If civilization is to survive, it must live on the interest, not the capital, of nature.”

“Because life, no matter what it is like, must be lived, and because to live is not merely to survive; it is to laugh, to think, to write.”

“Back to his various modes of escape and survival. Because you have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.”
