“Ha llegado el tiempo de decir ¡basta! al desarrollo. Convierte el presente de las mayorÃas sociales en un futuro siempre pospuesto. Ha llegado la hora de regresar al presente. Que el presente sea digno espejo para el futuro. El mito ha muerto, pero del cadáver insepulto brotan ya todo género de plagas. Ha llegado la hora de proceder al solemne funeral.”

“It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument—their intellect—which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.”

Little doubt: little awakening.
No doubt: no awakening.”

“To those who followed Columbus and Cortez, the New World truly seemed incredible because of the natural endowments. The land often announced itself with a heavy scent miles out into the ocean. Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524 smelled the cedars of the East Coast a hundred leagues out. The men of Henry Hudson’s Half Moon were temporarily disarmed by the fragrance of the New Jersey shore, while ships running farther up the coast occasionally swam through large beds of floating flowers. Wherever they came inland they found a rich riot of color and sound, of game and luxuriant vegetation. Had they been other than they were, they might have written a new mythology here. As it was, they took inventory.”
