“Vivimos en la época de lo impredecible pero estamos preparados para actuar en ella con la fuerza, el dinamismo y la flexibilidad del español, la lengua de la paz. Acallemos de una vez a quienes tratan de hacernos a un lado diciendo que no hay ciencia en español. Sí, señores, hay poesía, hay filosofía, hay ciencia y ¡hay vida!.”
