Quote:Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.
Jorge Luis Borges wrote those words in the preface to his masterly collection of short stories: El jardÃn de senderos que se bifurcan.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."

"They are in Love. Fuck the War."

"Ccollanan Pachacamac ricuy auccacunac yahuarniy hichascancuta."
The last words of the last Inka, Tupac Amaru, led to the gallows by men of god & dogs of war
