“Illusions of a lover! Illusions have neither a past nor any present, They always seem to hang in the moments of the future, For when experienced one never knows what they mean or represent, But they always arise from the person’s conscience and the stature, As for those who are in love everything is an illusion, When with her even real appears more real, When not with her even real seems unreal, a sort of hallucination, A dawn of new reality where everything is surreal, Only her smiles, her charms, her kisses, and her deep eyes exist, And the heart seeks its indulgences in them, And ah how much like a wanton kid it does persist, To only chase her, and seek her as if she were the most precious gem, The sun peeps in from the still and motionless curtains, And the weary eyes open hoping its rays will bring her along, But then everything drowns in the loud calls of martins, Until every sound resembles her voice and her beautiful song, Then nothing exists, neither the Sun, nor the curtains, and not even martins, Only your song and your endless memories, And the heart dutifully warbles to mind these emotional bulletins, So, I rest my head on a pile of your feelings and bid farewell to all my worries! And now it is me and your feelings spread all over, The heart stops beating, the mind stops to think, For now Irma, begins the journey called forever, Where moments do not pass as eyes blink, Because the heart does not beat and the mind does not think, Making time irrelevant and unnecessary, And as in this moment called forever we sink, We now only seek what is necessary, You, your memories, your charms and your smiles, As this restful state extends into eternity, It marks an end of life’s tribulations and trials, Because now your feelings envelope me to create a new feeling of serenity!”

“Por eso, sobre todo por eso, necesitamos la política. Ese lugar donde vamos a decidir cuánta desigualdad estamos dispuestos a so- portar. Cuánto dolor estamos dispuestos a ver y cuánto dolor estamos dispuestos a padecer. Porque, tarde o temprano, termi- namos poniendo límites a las desigualdades. Los poderosos lo saben. Y les aterra. Así, con idas y venidas, vamos avanzando. Haciéndonos conscientes de nuestros límites y de nuestras posibilidades. Es ese optimismo que, como corriente de fondo, alimenta las razones para seguir remando.”

“no es sufciente apelar a las buenas intenciones de la población; más que nada necesitamos administrar sabiamente los cambios tecnológicos que ya están sucediendo a nuestro alrededor. En particular, utilizaremos el conocimiento sobre la información para reformar y consolidar plenamente la incipiente infósfera que ya existe a nuestro alrededor (el Internet) y desarrollar nuevos sistemas que serán la columna vertebral de este nuevo orden social.”
