Childhood and Youth
He came from a well-to-do family that had fallen on hard times as a result of adversities in the aftermath of the war of 1870. And is, without doubt, the upmost expression of creation of Paraguayan dramatic art and the Guarani theatre, always inspired in social subjects. Descendant of Brazilian people, his father fought in the war and once it ended, decided to stay in Paraguay, like many other soldiers at the time. As a child he grew among people that talk GuaranÃ, among countryman and peons, and it was from that time, he started to acknowledge their struggles to survive. When he became a grown man, he discovered himself as able to read this people, as an interpreter to them, in the theater as in the social action.
He was very good friends with the sculptor Erminio Blotta (from Rosario, Argentina), honorary citizen of Paraguay.

Famous quotes containing the words childhood and, childhood and/or youth:
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“Manhood like a lawyer with his formulas
Sesamés his youth for innocent acquittal.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
