“(...) la dicha no estaba en el Carnaval y quizás en ninguna parte (...). Tal vez ha llegado el momento de comprender que los criollos no hemos nacido para ciertas fantochadas. Que se rían los brasileños. Tengamos, eso sí, fiestas y reuniones populares. Pero no dejemos de ser quienes somos. Si nuestra extraña condición nos ha hecho comprender el sentido adverso del mundo, agrupémonos para ayudarnos amistosamente a soportar la adversidad. A lo mejor, los Carnavales de antaño, tan añorados por los animadores de la radio, no eran más que eso: una reunión de gente triste que buscaba consuelo.”

“Religion deals with both earth and heaven, both time and eternity. Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself. This means, at bottom, that the Christian gospel is a two-way road. On the one hand it seeks to change the souls of men, and thereby unite them with God; on the other hand it seeks to change the environmental conditions of men so that the soul will have a chance after it is changed. Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.”
