Famous quotes by Carlos Fuentes:

"If the Soviet Union can give up the Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let's all go to bed wearing the perfume we like best."
"Religion is dogmatic. Politic is ideological. Reason must be logical, but literature has a privilege of being equivocal,"
"Human kind will prevail. And it will prevail because, in spite of the reaction of history, novels tell that art restores right in us that was disregarded by history. History is being what was, then literature offers what history has not always been,"
"I wrote it to show that not all mother-in-laws are bad."
"It was pretty impressive to score that high without our top individual. The rest of the girls really came through. I'm proud of them."
"They were determined. I tell them that beam, more than anything, is just mental. It's just a matter of executing."
"There must be something beyond slaughter and barbarism to support the existence of mankind and we must all help search for it."
