| e08181d | El gran adversario de la civilizacion es, segun Hayek, el constructivismo o la ingenieria social, la pretension de elaborar intelectualmente un modelo economico y politico y querer luego implantarlo en la realidad, algo que solo es posible mediante la fuerza --una violencia que degenera en dictadura-- y que ha fracasado en todos los casos en que se intento. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||

| 4f44eac | No hay manera de centralizar todos los conocimientos desperdigados en la multitud de mentes individuales que conforman una sociedad, ni de averiguar los apetitos, ambiciones, necesidades, intereses, cuyo tramado y coexistencia van a determinar la evolucion historica de un pais.

The cadets all know they get expelled of they're discovered. IF, Gamboa. We've already expelled quite a few. But the smart ones don't get caught. If they're going to be men, they have to take chances, they have to use their wits. That's the way the army is. Discipline isn't enough. You've got to have guts, .. | Mario Vargas Llosa | ||
