“Vivimos en un mundo civilizado al que le sigue pareciendo el más embriagador deporte la viejísima práctica de las matanzas. Te degüellan por combatir la injusticia establecida, por pertenecer a una raza detestada; acaban contigo por hambre si eres prisionero de guerra, o te fusilan por supuestos intentos de sublevación; te condenan tribunales secretos por el delito de resistir en tu propia nación invadida... Te ahorcan porque no sonríes a quien ordena sonrisas, o porque to Dios no es el suyo, o porque tu ateísmo no es el suyo... A lo largo del tiempo, ríos de sangre.”
Antonio Buero Vallejo, La fundación

“«"Alegremente" es la palabra de la casa. Estáis envenenados de alegría. Y no era eso lo que pensaba yo encontrar aquí. Creí que encontraría... a mis verdaderos compañeros, no a unos ilusos».”
Antonio Buero Vallejo, En la ardiente oscuridad

“Eres un ser humano. Fuerte unas veces, débil otras. Como casi todos.”
Antonio Buero Vallejo, La fundación
