Duela gutxi Gales bisitatu dut, eta herri haren historia hurbila eta politika hobeto ezagutzeko beharra sentitu dut. Izan ere nahiko ezezaguna da herri galestarraren egoera eta borroka, Euskal Herriaren antza handia daukan arren. Beraz, galestarren 60ko eta 70eko hamarkadetako borrokak eta politika azaltzen dituen klasiko hau aurkitu dut, ea nire jakinmina asetzen laguntzen nauen.

Kortabarria ★ quoted The Welsh extremist by Ned Thomas
It seems to me that industrial South Wales has suffered a double wound – the sheer hardship of the years of unemployment; and added to this the loss of the language and all that it contained in the way of spiritual resources with which to meet that suffering. There is a humiliation in losing your language as there is in the indignity of the means test, and though it may seem a secondary kind of humiliation, it can leave a mark that lasts a long time.
— The Welsh extremist by Ned Thomas (Page 100)
Kortabarria ★ quoted The Welsh extremist by Ned Thomas
When I discuss Welsh nationalism with Englishmen I often find myself caught up in a kind of sixth-form debate about constitutions and boundaries and customs unions. If devolution comes about, these things will be important, but they are not the starting point, they are not the source of the deepest and most passionate feeling. [...] People do not talk of dying for Wales (and there are young Welshmen who use these phrases) because of a vision of a Welsh parliament in Cardiff or for the emblems of prestige that go with official nationhood, but because they see a language and a culture and an identity being wiped off the map of the world, and no longer believe that the forms of British democracy can be used to prevent this.

Kortabarria ★ started reading Palestina by Joe Sacco
[Euskal Herriaren eta espainiar zein frantziar estatuen] azkeneko berrehun urteak elkar ulertu ezinaren historia dira. Odoltsua eta krudela zenbaitetan, etengabeko sokatirakoa besteetan. Baina soka beti eurena zela. Nahi zutenean laxa, nahi zutenean estutu, edo nahi zutenean soka gorde eta jokoa zapuztu egiten zutela. Inoiz ez gara izan bi lehiakide edo solaskide osoak eta berdinak. Arazoaren gakoa hor dago.
