Fernando Arrabal

“الإنسان المقهور هو فقط من يستطيع فرض القهر حوله”
Fernando Arrabal

“Ellos me dijeron que había que amar a la patria, que había que sacrificarse por ella, que había que sentirse orgulloso de sus héroes, que había que respetar el orden del país, que había que denunciar a los traidores, que había que odiar a los enemigos. Tú también me lo dijiste.”
