We are what we do - Somos lo que hacemos - Eduardo Galeano

Somos lo que hacemos; sobre todo, lo que hacemos para cambiar lo que somos

"We are what we do, especially what we do to change what we are...A literature born
in the process of crisis and change, and deeply immersed in the risks and
events of its time, can indeed help to create the symbols of the new
reality, and perhaps--if talent and courage are not lacking--throw light on
the signs along the road...To claim that literature on its own is going to
change reality would be an act of madness or arrogance. It seems to me no

less foolish to deny that it can aid in making this change."
