1920: Founding of Nós: first words.

"Is the desire that Galiza feels today to live again, to return to its true and immortal being, the luminous evidence of tomorrow, what makes us come out. We have a blind, absolute, unwavering faith in the vitality and genius of our race and also in the effectiveness of our effort to bring it to the fulfillment of its glorious destiny. Today a generation came to life in our country that understood its imperative social duty to create the Galician culture for good. Our creative activity has never been so great".
