"Have the past struggles succeeded?
What has succeeded? yourself? your nation? Nature?
Now understand me well — it is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary."

-from "Songs of the Open Road"

The narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery.

No tengo nada que ver con este sistema, ni siquiera lo necesario para oponerme a él.
