More From Carlos Fuentes

Biography always has fulfiled this role. robinson crusoe is a biography, as is tom jones. you can go through the whole range of the novel, and you will find it is biography. the only difference between one example and the other is that sometimes it's a partial biography and sometimes it's a total biography. clarissa, for example, is a partial biography of clarissa and a partial biography of lovelace. in other words, it doesn't follow lovelace from when he is in the cradle, though it takes him to the grave.

"

America must always lead on the world stage. if we don't, no one else will. the military that you have joined is, and always will be, the backbone of that leadership. but u.s. military action cannot be the only - or even primary - component of our leadership in every instance. just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
