• There must be renewed recognition that societies are kept stable and healthy by reform, not by thought police; this means there must be free play for so-called subversive ideas - every idea subverts the old to make way for the new. To shut off subversion is to shut off peaceful progress and to invite revolution and war.

• Victor Serge murió en el exilio y en la oscuridad, aparentemente no más que una esquirla de una esquirla del movimiento marxista. Pero con el paso de los años, se perfila como una de las grandes figuras morales de nuestro tiempo, un artista de tal integridad y un revolucionario de tal pureza que eclipsa a los que alcanzaron la fama y el poder. Su fracaso fue su éxito. No conozco a ningún participante en la revolución rusa y en la agonía española que merezca más la atención de nuestra juventud.
