If the grape is made of wine, then perhaps we are the words that tell who we are
Eduardo Galeano
Image
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.

Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of our imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable. This, my friends, is the crux of our solitude.
Eduardo Galeano
Image
Our effectiveness depends on our capacity to be audacious and astute, clear and appealing. I would hope that we can create a language more fearless and beautiful than that used by conformist writers to greet the twilight.

Charity, vertical, humiliates. Solidarity, horizontal, helps.
Eduardo Galeano

We are what we do, especially what we do to change what we are.
Eduardo Galeano
Image
Writing is a marvelous adventure and very labor-intensive: those words run away and try to escape. They are very difficult to capture.
Eduardo Galeano
Image
Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.
Eduardo Galeano
