""construção de linhas telegráficas desponta como um feito de integração nacional nos mesmos moldes da construção da Ferrovia Transcontinental,5 quarenta anos antes, nos Estados Unidos."

Não tenho dúvidas que deva ter dado um bom trabalho instalar o telégrafo pelo interior do Brasil. Outra coisa foi a construção da ferrovia transatlântica. Basta ver os números envolvidos em ambas. Pura fantasia."

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Yuval Noah Harari
“Whatever path we take, the first step is to acknowledge the complexity of the dilemma and to accept that simplistically dividing the past into good guys and bad guys leads nowhere. Unless, of course, we are willing to admit that we usually follow the lead of the bad guys.”
Yuval Noah Harari

Mahatma Gandhi
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Upton Sinclair
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked
