“Nothing endures, but nothing is meaningless either. We rise, we fall, we rise again, and again we fall. We go on. I too have succeeded and I have also failed. Death is close now. In death do triumph and failure humbly meet. We learn far less from victory than from defeat.”
took forever to read this but may US imperialism fall in the same way bisnaga did. exhausting to get through and read like an epic despite being 336 pages. dramatic and prose heavy but tells a story people in power could learn from, if only any of them had the capacity to learn anything at all
