Eduardo Galeano Quote: “I confess I get a pain from reading valuable works by certain sociologists, political experts, economists, and historians who write in code. Hermetic language isn’t the invariable and inevitable price of profundity. In some cases it can simply conceal incapacity for communication raised to the category of intellectual virtue. I suspect that boredom can thus often serve to sanctify the established order, confirming that knowledge is a privilege of the elite.”

He who knows nothing, anyone can fool. He who has nothing, anyone can buy.”

Eduardo Galeano Quote: “Until a few years ago, a man who had no debts was considered virtuous, honest, and hardworking. Today, he’s an extraterrestrial. Whoever does not owe, does not exist.

Every single person or country that belongs to this world has at least one foot caught in this trap.”
