• Las amplias y ricas hectáreas de nuestras llanuras agrícolas han sido preservadas por la naturaleza durante mucho tiempo para convertirse en su regalo sin trabas a un pueblo civilizado y libre, sobre el cual deberían descansar, en propiedad bien distribuida, los numerosos hogares de ciudadanos ilustrados, iguales y fraternales...

• Oh, qué catástrofe, qué mutilación del amor cuando se hizo personal, un mero sentimiento personal. Esto es lo que nos pasa: nos desangramos de raíz porque estamos separados de la tierra, del sol y de las estrellas. El amor se ha convertido en una burla sonriente porque, pobre flor, la arrancamos de su tallo en el Árbol de la Vida y esperamos que siga floreciendo en nuestro civilizado jarrón sobre la mesa.
