"From that imbalance rose the tragic results of the coming together of two worlds. It was the extermination of an ancient dream by the frenzy of a modern one, the destruction of myths by a desire for power. It was gold, modern weapons, and rational thought pitted against magic and gods: the outcome could not have been otherwise."Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio on The Mexican Dream: Or, The Interrupted Thought of Amerindian Civilizations.
