• Lo más característico de la disidencia es la dignidad, la elevación del estado de ánimo, del pensamiento y de las palabras. La convicción profunda y el sentimiento cálido dicen su última palabra sabiendo que la causa está perdida. La voz de la mayoría puede ser la de la fuerza triunfante, contenta con los aplausos del momento y sin preocuparse por el mañana. El disidente habla al futuro, y su voz está afinada en un tono que perdurará a través de los años.

There is the type magisterial or imperative; the type laconic or sententious; the type conversational or homely; the type refined or artificial, smelling of the lamp, verging at times upon preciosity or euphuism; the demonstrative or persuasive; and finally the type tonsorial or agglutinative, so called from the shears and the pastepot which are its implements and emblem.

• The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet, challenging us to be true to ourselves by appeals to the martial spirit that keeps the blood at heat.

Then it is that you will be summoned to show the courage of adventurous youth.
