We must not return to the practice of hiding our defects so they may not be seen. That would be neither honest nor revolutionary.

Revolution cleanses men, improving them as the experimental farmer corrects the defects of his plants.

If it is an element of liberation for Latin America, I believe that it should have demonstrated that. Until now, I have not been aware of any such demonstration. The IMF performs an entirely different function: precisely that of ensuring that capital based outside of Latin America controls all of Latin America.

I knew that the moment the great governing spirit strikes the blow to divide all humanity into just two opposing factions, I would be on the side of the common people.

If you ask me the image of Latin America, there are sorne countries which oppress their peoples much more, and among the less - least oppressive, among those with which we could have perfectly normal relations without any difficulties - we could have Uruguay, Chile, maybe Costa Rica. But the U.S.. do not permit us.

Let the world change you and you can change the world

The Revolution is made by man, but man must forge his revolutionary spirit from day to day.
