Pearabéns, Mario Vargas Llosa

 


1. “Writers are the exorcists of their own demons.”

2. “Reading is a protest against the insufficiencies of life.”

3. “If you are killed because you are a writer, that’s the maximum expression of respect, you know.”

4. “Violence represents the worst kind of conformism.”

5. “Liberty is inseparable from social justice, and those who dissociate them, sacrificing the first with the purpose of attaining the second more quickly, are the true barbarians of our time.”

6. “No democracy is born perfect, and none ever gets to be perfect. Yet democracy is superior to authoritarian and totalitarian regimes because, unlike them, democracy is perfectible.”
