It’s a difficult competition against silence, because silence is a perfect language, the only language which says with no words Picture Quote #1

Less is always more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money Picture Quote #1

The Church says: the body is a sin. Science says: the body is a machine. Advertising says: The body is a business. The Body says: I am a fiesta Picture Quote #1

Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. They are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of God, or civilization or progress. But all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars Picture Quote #1

Richness in the world is a result of other people’s poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots Picture Quote #1

Reality is very, very contradictory, and so I try to write just perfecting what I see, what I read, what I feel, in a feel-thinking way.

I can’t sleep. There is a woman stuck between my eyelids. I would tell her to get out if I could. But there is a woman stuck in my throat Picture Quote #1

And one fine day the goddess of the wind kisses the foot of man, that mistreated, scorned foot, and from that kiss the soccer idol is born. He is born in a straw crib in a tin-roofed shack and he enters the world clinging to a ball Picture Quote #1

I have never killed anybody, it is true, but it is because I lacked the courage or the time, not because I lacked the desire Picture Quote #1

The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a soccer player, and I became the best of the best, the number one, better than Maradona, better than Pele, and even better than Messi - but only at night, nighttime, during my dreams. When I wake up, I realized that I have wooden legs and that I’m doomed to be a writer Picture Quote #1

These are very interesting developments, reflecting the revitalization of community power with a more and more active presence of minorities in political life, including the presence of women who are of course by no means a minority Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
