Juan Montalvo Quotes


An Ecuadorian author and essayist, generally thought to be one of Ecuador's best writers of the period.
Juan María Montalvo Fiallos (April 13, 1832, Ambato – January 17, 1889, Paris) was an Ecuadorian author and essayist, generally thought to be one of Ecuador's best writers of the period. He was son of Marcos Montalvo and Josefa Fiallos and from a very young age he showed to be a really intelligent and "different" thinker for his time. A political liberal, Montalvo's beliefs were marked by anti-clericism and a keen hatred for Ecuador's two caudillos that ruled during his life: Gabriel García Moreno and Ignacio de Veintemilla. After an issue of his book, El Cosmopolita, viciously attacked Moreno, Montalvo was exiled to Colombia, where he would write most of his later works.

Here are some famous quotes by Juan Montalvo.

Old age is an island surrounded by death.
