Today's quote

"But when I shook hands to leave, an Anarchist worker / Said: 'Tell the workers of England / This was a war not of our own making / We did not seek it. / But if ever the Fascists again rule Barcelona / It will be as a heap of ruins with us workers beneath it.'"

From the poem “A Letter from Aragon” by John Cornford (English volunteer)

Today's quote:

"The Spanish people will rise again as they have always risen before against tyranny. The dead do not need to rise. They are a part of the earth now and the earth can never be conquered. For the earth endureth forever. It will outlive all systems of tyranny. Those who have entered it honorably, and no men ever entered earth more honorably than those who died in Spain, already have achieved immortality."

Ernest Hemingway
