Jose Clemente Orozco

“Why must we be eternally on our knees before the Kants and Hugos?”

“We too could wrest iron from the bowels of the earth and fashion it into ships and machines.”

“All praise to the masters indeed, but we too could produce a Kant or a Hugo.”

“Was not from a mixture of two races that the Titans sprang?”

“We could raise prodigious cities and create nations, and explore the universe.”
