More quotes by Eduardo Galeano
Chaplin and Keaton are still the best. They know that there is nothing more serious than laughter, an art demanding infinite work, and that as long as the world revolves, making others laugh is the most splendid of activities.
Eduardo Galeano
The human rainbow had been mutilated by machismo, racism, militarism and a lot of other isms, who have been terribly killing our greatness, our possible greatness, our possible beauty.
Eduardo Galeano
I am astonished each time I come to the U.S. by the ignorance of a high percentage of the population, which knows almost nothing about Latin America or about the world. It's quite blind and deaf to anything that may happen outside the frontiers of the U.S.
Eduardo Galeano
I'm a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia.
Eduardo Galeano
In his life, a man can change wives, political parties or religions but he cannot change his favourite soccer team.
Eduardo Galeano
Recordar: To remember from the Latin records, to pass back through the heart
Eduardo Galeano
I am not a historian. I am a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past
Eduardo Galeano
The big bankers of the world, who practise the terrorism of money, are more powerful than kings and field marshals, even more than the Pope of Rome himself. They never dirty their hands. They kill no-one: they limit themselves to applauding the show.
Eduardo Galeano
Always in all my books I'm trying to reveal or help to reveal the hidden greatness of the small, of the little, of the unknown - and the pettiness of the big.
Eduardo Galeano
So many stories, and to choose which ones to tell and how to tell them. The words, they will tap me on the shoulder and they will speak to me: Tell me! Tell me! The stories choose me.
Eduardo Galeano
I'm attracted to soccer's capacity for beauty. When well played, the game is a dance with a ball.
Eduardo Galeano
In the struggle of good against evil, it's always the people who get killed.
Eduardo Galeano
Our defeat was always implicit in the victory of others our wealth has always generated our poverty by nourishing the prosperity of others - the empires and their native overseers. In the colonial and neocolonial alchemy, gold changes into scrap metal and food into poison.
Eduardo Galeano
If the past has nothing to say to the present, history may go on sleeping undisturbed in the closet where the system keeps its old disguises.
Eduardo Galeano
Soccer, metaphor for war, at times turns into real war.
Eduardo Galeano
Celebration of the Human Voice--- When it is genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice. When denied a mouth, it speaks with the hands or the eyes, or the pores, or anything at all. Because every single one of us has something to say to the others, something that deserves to be celebrated or forgiven by others.
Eduardo Galeano
The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear.
Eduardo Galeano
There are some writers who feel they are elected by God. I am not. I am elected by the devil - this is clear.
Eduardo Galeano
A pretty move, for the love of God.
Eduardo Galeano
Each time a new war is disclosed in the name of the fight of the good against evil, those who are killed are all poor. It's always the same story repeating once and again and again.
