"Mankind's poverty [is] a result of the wealth of the land."
— Eduardo Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America, 1973
"[T]he Great Powers of the West are seeking peace, not by curbing their greed, or by giving up the exclusive advantages which they have unjustly acquired, but by concentrating their forces for mutual security... I know I am crying in the wilderness when I raise the voice of warning; and while the West is busy with its organization of a machine-made peace, it will still continue to nourish by its iniquities the underground forces of earthquake in the Eastern Continent. The West seems unconscious that Science, by providing it with more and more power, is tempting it to suicide..."
— Rabindranath Tagore, "The Modern Age," in Creative Unity, 1922
