Quote to Ponder

 

 

"I discovered very quickly that criticism
is a form of optimism, and that when
you are silent about the shortcomings
of your society, you're very pessimistic
about that society. And it's only when
you speak truthfully about it that you
show your faith in that society.”

- Carlos Fuentes, Author, Scholar & Diplomat
