"Euskadi encompasses a diverse human group formed by so many individuals. Each person has her own origin, life experiences and distinct personality. We must hold on to that plurality no matter what it takes. To be a member of a specific culture or ethnic group or to have the sense of belonging to a certain country does not indicate that particular society is homogeneous. That would be in vain. There is no such thing as a pure society. Narrow-minded perspectives and the desire to advance one group at the expense of another create problems. Indeed, it is the diverse society that encompasses all feelings, ideas, origins, and faiths, which must be respected. That is why the story presented here about Euskadi will not be one-sided. This will not be an invented story nor a dream, but reality. What will be brought to paper will be a Basque Country that actually exists. It will consider our diverse society with all the richness it offers."-- http://www.eliburutegia.euskadi.eus/libro/an-ancient-country-in-love-with-modernity
