En sus escritos, lecciones o conferencias, la historia es un magnífico recreo que nos ilustra y nos enriquece, pero también es un saber imprescindible para avanzar en los principios del humanismo y la tolerancia, es decir, en la tarea de comprender con vocación ecuánime la complejidad y la ambivalencia de toda vida humana, en todo tiempo y circunstancia.

Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run.

« J’ai décidé, avec ce livre-testament, de ne jamais brider ma plume. J’écris sans scrupule. Je livre, sans aucune précaution pour les âmes sensibles, le fond de ma pensée, avec l’obsession de relever le pays, de le redresser, de le sortir du cloaque.

Las historias olvidadas, historias ignoradas o poco conocidas y las preguntas sin una respuesta, Y te invito a cruzar el umbral… entre lo que creemos, y lo que tememos descubrir. La verdad nunca grita...
