'Como te importa tu pureza, mi pequeño muchacho! ¡Que miedo tienes de ensuciarte las manos! ¡Bien, sigue siendo puro! ¿A quien le importa y para que servira tu pureza? ¿Y para que estas con nosotros, terrenales impuros? (...) Todos los medios son buenos cuando son eficaces. Yo tengo las manos sucias hasta los codos, las he hundido en el excremento y en la sangre. ¿Y que? ¿Piensas que se puede gobernar limpiamente? (...) Tu no quieres a los hombres; tu solo amas los principios.' Jean Paul Sartre (Las Manos Sucias)
