Tomás Rivera quotes

...And I was only concerned about the migrant worker, the people I had known best. I had been a migrant worker. So I began to see that my role-if I want to call it that-would be to document that period of time, but giving it some kind of spiritual strength or spiritual history. (Tomás Rivera)
