By surrendering my life to the revolution, I found eternal life

The reactionary suicide is ‘wise,’ and the revolutionary suicide is a ‘fool,’ a fool for the revolution in the way Paul meant when he spoke of being a ‘fool for Christ,’ That foolishness can move mountains of oppression; it is our great leap and our commitment to the dead and the unborn.

I had a lot of time and the first year I was in prison, I tried to get the party to stop the shooting, to stop the talk about the gun thing.

I wanted to leave high school in 1958 and join the Cuban revolution. So the only reason I did not come to join [Fidel] Castro was because my mother would not let me. I was only 16.

I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.

I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.

There will be no prison which can hold our movement down.
