We know what we want. To us it means nothing that there is a Soviet Union somewhere in the world, for the sake of whose peace and tranquillity the workers of Germany and China were sacrificed to Fascist barbarians by Stalin.

We are setting an example to the German and Italian working class on how to deal with Fascism. Buenaventura Durruti

And then what happens is precisely the contrary. Humanity betrays itself. Carlos Ruiz Zafon
