Hope comes from truth-telling, from authors like Eduardo Galeano who can break our frozen soul and revive our passion and curiosity.

"The owners of power have built a factory of fear. We become afraid of words, memory and the neighbor. The neighbor is a promise, not a menace."

Eduardo Galeano's new book is: "Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone." His past works include "Memory of Fire Trilogy," "Open Veins of Latin America," "Upside Down" and "We Say No."
