Chile quotes

Entre nosotros el dinero ha hecho desaparecer ma¤  s preocupaciones de familia que en las viejas sociedades europeas. En e¤  stas hay lo que llaman aristocracia de dinero, que jama¤  s alcanza con su poder†a hacer olvidar enteramente la oscuridad de la cuna, al paso que en Chile†todo va cediendo su puesto a la riqueza. Among us, money has dissolved more worries than among ancient European societies. The latter have what they call the moneyed aristocracy, which, despite all its power, never gets to forget its humble origins; on the other hand, in Chile everything yields to wealth.

-Blest Gana, Alberto
  Mart|¤  n Rivas, ch.2 (translated1918).
