Quote by Victor Munoz

“En los grandes torneos ganan los árbitros, los promotores del espectáculo, los que anuncian sus productos, los que miran los partidos desde sus casas o los que acuden a los estadios porque, gane o pierda su equipo pasan un rato de diversión, pero los que más beneficiados resultan son los gobernantes de todos los países del mundo, ya que se trata del circo moderno. Mientras duran los campeonatos la gente se mantiene dedicada a pensar, a opinar y a discutir al respecto de los partidos y para nada de los problemas sociales que existen en todas partes, y esto resulta beneficioso para todo gobierno.”

“Io sono un mimo, Zarmo, mi assumo il rischio. Tutti noi rischiamo in prima persona, nei nostri numeri. I trapezisti, gli acrobati, i domatori rischiano la loro vita. Noi rischiamo di fallire: di non far ridere o sorprendere o divertire il nostro pubblico. Può venirci un infarto sulla scena, per la paura, ci possiamo dimenticare quello che dobbiamo fare. Ma la nostra emozione è la stessa di chi assiste allo spettacolo. Respiriamo tutti la stessa vita, nello stesso momento.”

“I soldi sono sprecati per i ricchi [...] E per converso - continuò a rimuginare con un sorriso di scherno per quello che la circondava-, la povertà è sprecata per i poveri, che sono come i ricchi, solo senza quattrini, non sanno trarre partito da nulla, sono incapaci di badare a sé o di amministrare i loro soldi e, al pari dei ricchi, sperperano tutto in oggetti inutili di pura apparenza.”

“John Dalton was a very singular Man: He has none of the manners or ways of the world. A tolerable mathematician He gained his livelihood I believe by teaching the mathematics to young people. He pursued science always with mathematical views. He seemed little attentive to the labours of men except when they countenanced or confirmed his own ideas... He was a very disinterested man, seemed to have no ambition beyond that of being thought a good Philosopher. He was a very coarse Experimenter & almost always found the results he required.—Memory & observation were subordinate qualities in his mind. He followed with ardour analogies & inductions & however his claims to originality may admit of question I have no doubt that he was one of the most original philosophers of his time & one of the most ingenious.”

“In the vestibule of the Manchester Town Hall are placed two life-sized marble statues facing each other. One of these is that of John Dalton ... the other that of James Prescott Joule. ... Thus the honour is done to Manchester's two greatest sons—to Dalton, the founder of modern Chemistry and of the atomic theory, and the laws of chemical-combining proportions; to Joule, the founder of modern physics and the discoverer of the Law of Conservation of Energy. One gave to the world the final proof ... that in every kind of chemical change no loss of matter occurs; the other proved that in all the varied modes of physical change, no loss of energy takes place.”
