How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.

They believe that God is saying, "Watch out! Don't go there!"

One thing is the free movement of peoples, the other of money. — Eduardo Galeano
