Rómulo Gallegos

“In the heart of the wilderness, a man finds his true self.”

“The river is like life: it flows endlessly toward the sea.”

“Power corrupts even the noblest of intentions.”

“The earth knows no masters, only those who work it.”

“Civilization and barbarism are two faces of the same coin.”

“The jungle demands everything from those who enter it.”

“The llanero is free because he lives under the open sky.”

“Nature in the tropics is both generous and cruel.”

“In the immensity of the landscape, man discovers his own smallness.”

“The plains teach man to be patient.”
