2 more from Carlos Fuentes

2 more quotes from Carlos Fuentes, from last year's reading. For all my anarchist-leaning, world-embracing, and amazingly-still-hoping friends. The first, for those feeling less than ecstatic, after the elections and their hoopla, perhaps. The second might sound facile, but could grow in meaning, for those inclined to let it. So that's all I'm gonna say about that.

"This revolution has now degenerated into a government."
- a Mexican general in 1917
(quoted in A New Time For Mexico)

"for the nomad the world is already perfect."
- CF
