Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite.

Just before I left [Cuba], I was about to transfer to the university. I had decided I had had enough experience in work in the manual areas. But then I got word from the United States that I could return...that my party had gathered enough information about the false charges that were against me for me to return to the United States.

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.

I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.

The United States is already antique.

The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
