His [Francisco Goya's] debt to the Christianity of the eighteenth century is contained in the idea that politics was just adopting from the Gospels: the conviction that man has a right to justice. Such a statement would seem utterly conceited to a Roman, who would doubtless have looked upon the Disasters as we look upon photographs of the amphitheatre...But if Goya thought that man has not come onto the earth to be cut to pieces he thought that he must have come here for something. Is it to live in joy and honour? Not only that; it is to come to terms with the world.

A Goya le tocó ejercer de crítico en algunos de sus conciertos privados, aunque afortunadamente era sordo y se limitaba a asentir con la cabeza mientras el rey torturaba su instrumento.

Me imagino a Goya haciéndome el honor de leer estas páginas —como usted, que las está leyendo ahora— y sonriendo con ácido cinismo con lo equivocado que estoy al interpretar su vida y su obra. Malinterpretando su mensaje. Me imagino uno de sus Caprichos sobre este libro: una estampa de un burro tecleando en su ordenador.
