We have a theoretical concept of the Revolution which is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

The revolution has no time for elections. There is no more democratic government in Latin America than the revolutionary government.

Were Kennedy not a millionaire, illiterate and ignorant, then he would obviously understand that you cannot revolt against the peasants.

I am someone who's been in politics for 43 years and I know what I'm doing and what I should do. Have no doubt that I know how to tell the truth and to do so elegantly.

I would not vote for the mayor. It's not just because he didn't invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.

One of the greatest benefits of the revolution is that even our prostitutes are college graduates.
