Puro Chile
The Memory of the People

"Tomorrow belongs to the people, belongs to the workers. Humanity advance toward the conquest of a better world".
Salvador Allende ( 11 Sept. 1973 )

" Le monde est dangereux à vivre ! Non pas tant à cause de ceux qui font le mal, mais à cause de ceux qui regardent et laissent faire."
"This world is a dangerous place to live in ! Not because of those who do it wrong but because of those who just sit and watch."

(Albert Einstein)
"Déjame decirte, nena, a riesgo de ser ridículo, que un revolucionario está lleno de grandes sentimientos de amor".
(Ernesto Guevara - Che)(1966)
"On ne combat pas pour être libre, mais parce qu'on l'est déjà".
Jean Cavaillès, fondateur du reseau Cahors, fusillé par les Nazis en 1944
"No tengas hambre ni sed. Súbete a mis alas y cantaremos, y bailaremos, y comeremos pescado del rio y beberemos el viento".
(Latin American folksong, XV century)(Before the arrival of the European barbarians)
"El honor de la poesía es salir a la calle...la poesía es una insurrección".
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist".
(Dom Helder Camera -former archbishop of Olinda, Recife, Brasil)(1984)
"The important thing is not to stop questioning".
(Albert Einstein)(1946)
"Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar...".
(Antonio Machado)(1939)
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen"
Albert Einstein (1947)
"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.".
(Edgar A. Poe)(1839)
"Quand un homme rêve seul, c'est un songe. Qu'ils soient plusieurs à rêver, c'est une réalité. " .
(Armand Gatti)("La Parole Errante",1999)
"Ce qui est positif, c'est que vous êtes poète. Il y a bien longtemps que je dis que le poète est souverainement intelligent, qu'il est l'intelligence par excellence, - et que l'imagination est la plus scientifique des facultés, parce que seule elle comprend l'analogie universelle, ou ce qu'une religion mystique appelle la correspondance. "
Charles Baudelaire, "Lettre a A. Toussenel" (1856)
"Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many"
Chuang-Tzu (4th Century B.C)
A good traveller has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving,
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.

Ch'iu Ying (1510-1551)
"I was a butterfly, flying contentedly.
Then I awoke as Chuang Tzu.
Now I don't know who I really am -
a butterfly who dreams he is Chuang Tzu
or Chuang Tzu who dreamed he was a butterfly."

Chuang-Tzu (4th Century B.C)
"Hay hombres que luchan un día
Y son buenos.
Hay otros que luchan un año
Y son mejores.
Hay quienes luchan muchos años
Y son muy buenos.
Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida:
Esos son los imprescindibles. "

Bertold Brecht (1898-1956)
"Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from premises now in existence."
"The German Ideology", K.Marx and F.Engels (1845)
"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another"
Mahatma Gandi
"We have to see individual freedom as a social commitment"
Amartya Sen
