    • 2015 July 26, “Nietzsche en Sils-Maria”, in El País:
      Entonces desaparecerían los estúpidos enconos que habían llenado la historia humana de guerras, cataclismos, abusos, sufrimientos, salvajismos, y surgiría una fraternidad universal en la que la vida valdría por fin la pena de ser vivida por todos.
      Then the stupid anger that had filled human history with wars, cataclysms, abuses, sufferings, and savagery would disappear, and a universal brotherhood would arise in which life would finally be worth living for all.
