THE SALT OF THE EARTH

“ O enigma final da História não é se o justo vencerá o corrupto, mas sim como ultrapassar o mal que há em todo o bem e a perversidade dos justos.”
Niebuhr



"All this shouldn't last; but it will, always; the human 'always,' of course, a century, two centuries...and after that it will be different but worse.

We were the Leopards, the Lions; those who'll take our place will be little jackals, hyenas; and the whole lot of us Leopards, jackals, and sheep, we'll all go on thinking ourselves the salt of the earth."
"The Leopard"

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, principi di Lampedusa, duchi di Palma e Montechiaro
(1896-1957)
