Octavio Paz on critics:

[... Critic is not even a translation, although it would be its ideal: It is a guide. And the best critic is even less: just an invitation to do the only act that truly counts: TO SEE...]

RAAD´s philosophy:

[... Moral and aesthetic lesson of which artists and writers should think carefully:
Works stay, statements vanish, they are smoke. Ideologies come and go, but poems, temples, sonatas and novels remain...]
