"Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality. For one very rich
man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes
the indigence of the many".
(Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the
Nature and the Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Book
5, Ch. 1, Part II p.580)

but because of those who just sit and watch."
(Albert Einstein) |

decirte, nena, a riesgo de ser ridículo, que un revolucionario está lleno de grandes

"Ce
qui est positif, c'est que vous êtes poète. Il y a bien longtemps que je dis que le
poète est souverainement intelligent, qu'il est l'intelligence par
excellence, - et que l'imagination est la plus scientifique des facultés,
parce que seule elle comprend l'analogie universelle, ou ce qu'une religion
mystique appelle la correspondance. "
Charles Baudelaire, "Lettre a A. Toussenel" (1856) |
"Great
knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many"
Chuang-Tzu (4th Century B.C) |
A good traveller has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving,
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.
Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.
What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.
Ch'iu Ying (1510-1551) |
"I
was a butterfly, flying contentedly.
Then I awoke as Chuang Tzu.
Now I don't know who I really am -
a butterfly who dreams he is Chuang Tzu
or Chuang Tzu who dreamed he was a butterfly."
Chuang-Tzu (4th Century B.C) |
"Hay
hombres que luchan un día
Y son buenos.
Hay otros que luchan un año
Y son mejores.
Hay quienes luchan muchos años
Y son muy buenos.
Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida:
Esos son los imprescindibles. "
Bertold Brecht (1898-1956) |
"Communism
is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality
will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the
present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from premises now in
existence."
"The German Ideology", K.Marx and F.Engels
(1845) |
"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of
what we are doing to ourselves and to one another"
