"Don't tell me to find a place for myself elsewhere in the world, because there is no place in this world that is mine apart from that one. Don't say that you accept me in this or that country, because I have nothing to earn in those countries. Do not say that I find a mountain for myself in the Cordilleras or the Sierra Nevada: because those are other people's mountains, not mine. For me, those mountains have no beauty and no peace. Give me back my mountains!

""Ne mondjátok, hogy keressek magamnak máshol helyet a világban, mert nincsen ennek a világnak helye, ami az enyém volna azon az egyen kívül. Ne mondjátok, hogy befogadtok ebbe vagy abba az országba, mert nincsen nekem azokban az országokban semmi keresnivalóm. Ne mondjátok, hogy lelek magamnak hegyet a Kordillerrákban, vagy a Sierra Nevadán: mert a más hegyei azok, nem az enyimek. Az én számomra nincs szépségük és nincs békességük azoknak a hegyeknek. Adjátok vissza az én hegyeimet!"
