"A raiva de Vei a Sol por Macunaíma não ter se amulherado com uma das filhas da luz, é porque vivemos errados, em vez de termos criado uma civilização nascida diretamente da terra tropical e suas exigências até morais, como indianos, chineses, aztecas (filhas da luz) importamos a civilização de clima temperado (as francesas e a varina) da Europa." - Mario de Andrade
Macunaima 70 anos - dominio publico

"And the time will come, when we shall find ourselves restricted, and when it will be very important indeed for us to patronize home productions, and ceasing sending our millions abroad for importations, for the gate will be shut down, and circumstances will be such that we cannot bring things from abroad; and hence, the necessity of the exortation that we have received from time to time, to engage with all our hearts in the various branches of industry necessary to make us self-sustaining and to carry them out with all the tact and wisdom wich God has given us, that we may become free and independent in all these matters, free before the heavens, and free from all nations of the earth and their productions, so as being dependent upon them is concerned." _ Orson Pratt, 1875 - concerning preparedness.
