--Enrique García Velloso (ARGENTINO) =Varona, Enrique José= (1855-) Atesoran ciertos hombres un caudal tan vasto de actividades, y suelen ejercitarlas tan útil y sabiamente, que el ánimo, perplejo ante la obra multiforme por ellos realizada, no acierta a comprender de qué manera, en el estrecho marco que significa una vida humana,[62] pueda caber un programa tan vasto y tan vario. — The Spanish American Reader, Ernesto Nelson
