More From Carlos Fuentes
- "The United States has written the white history of the United States. It now needs to write the black, Latino, Indian, Asian and Caribbean history of the United States."
- "I had the good fortune of having a happy, closely knit family."
- "I am a morning writer; I am writing at eight-thirty in longhand and I keep at it until twelve-thirty, when I go for a swim. Then I come back, have lunch, and read in the afternoon until I take my walk for the next day’s writing."

- "Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine."― Bashar al-Assad
- "To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists."― Arnold Bennett
