The revolution is made through human beings, but individuals must forge their revolutionary spirit day by day

A country that does not know how to read and write is easy to deceive.

We have taken plants from the capitalist system where the most important thing was to produce, especially in Cuba.

We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.

We do not have elections. But the great majority of the Cuban people supports its government.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.

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