“Imposible beber sin fumar”

“El bar es para mí un lugar de meditación y recogimiento, sin el cual la vida es inconcebible.”

“Today`s culture is unfortunately inseparable from economic and military power. A ruling nation can impose its culture and give a worldwide fame to a second-rate writer like (Ernest Hemingway). (John Steinbeck) is important due to American guns. Had (John Dos Passos) and (William Faulkner) been born in Paraguay or in Turkey, who`d read them?”

“Thank God I'm an atheist!”

“Deus e a Pátria são um time imbatível; eles quebram todos os recordes de opressão e derramamento de sangue.”

“The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.”

“I can't help feeling that there is no beauty without hope, struggle, and conquest.”
