• Apartándome, pues, de esta repugnante combinación de Iglesia y Estado, y llorando por las locuras de nuestros semejantes, que se rinden voluntariamente a los embaucadores y esclavos de estos mountebanks, considero que la reforma y la reparación son desesperadas, y las abandono al quijotismo de mentes más entusiastas.

• Tereza's mother never stopped reminding her that being a mother meant sacrificing everything. Her words had the ring of truth, backed as they were by the experience of a woman who had lost everything because of her child. Tereza would listen and believe that being a mother was the highest value in life and that being a mother was a great sacrifice. If a mother was Sacrifice personified, then a daughter was Guilt, with no possibility of redress.

• Y que nunca se interprete que dicha Constitución autoriza al Congreso a infringir la justa libertad de prensa o los derechos de conciencia; o a impedir que el pueblo de los Estados Unidos, que es ciudadano pacífico, posea sus propias armas; ni a levantar ejércitos permanentes, a menos que sea necesario para la defensa de los Estados Unidos o de uno o más de ellos; ni a impedir que el pueblo solicite, de manera pacífica y ordenada, a la legislatura federal la reparación de agravios; ni a someter al pueblo a registros e incautaciones irrazonables de sus personas, documentos o posesiones.

  Samuel Adams
