- 1969, Octavi Fullat,El crac universitari:
- Quan el maig del mil noucents seixanta vuit, els estudiants de Paris cometerendesmesures —convé precisar, per contrast, que no hi ha costum enlloc de qualificar dedesmesura lesdesmesures legalitzades, i consti que n'hi ha— vaig sentir com un bon home s'exclamava: "Potser tindran raó en el que demanen, però la forma de fer-ho és totalment incorrecta".
- When, in May of nineteen sixty-eight, the students of Paris committedexcesses--it should be noted, by contrast, that there is no custom of describing legalisedexcesses asexcesses, and it's obvious these exist--I felt that simple souls exclaimed, "Maybe they are right in what they are asking but their way of going about it is all wrong."
