"Man is a free man. You should not be imposing anything that relates to the heart. The country is not stamped on the soul as a result of a material fact. I agree that one plant is distinguished as the earth is born. Thus, the potato, for example, may be Italian or French. But man is not like the pope. Not born of earth but of man. "
Juan Bautista Alberdi
