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 Guaraní, 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 related to childhood and youth:
“When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it. The two things that nearly all of us have thoroughly and really been through are childhood and youth. And though we would not have them back again on any account, we feel that they are both beautiful, because we have drunk them dry.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Childhood and youth are ends in themselves, not stages.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
