"La explicacion del interes en el pasado se halla en la adquisicion de la conciencia
du una nobleza heredada. No como los hijos sin padreque se recatan en la sombra, sino
como hijos que saben que tienen ancestros valiosos y se ponen a indagar su--ancestral
grandeza. Y este es el hecho mas importante: lograr la plena conviccion de que Mexico
no es un improvisado en la cultura" Angel Ma. Garibay K.
