Without fanaticism we cannot accomplish anything.

The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.

Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.

If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it.

Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun.
