I wish we could begin a new period of normal relations with the government of the United States.

I am a President held prisoner, that I haven't resigned and I will not resign.

We're not perfect, but we do have democracy.

I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet.

Israel criticizes Hitler a lot, so do we, but they've done something very similar, even worse, than what the Nazis did.

Racism is very characteristic of imperialism and capitalism. Hate against me has a lot to do with racism. Because of my big mouth and curly hair. And I'm so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it is African.

In the United States, the government is bailing out banks, intervening in the economy, yet in Latin America, the Right continues to talk about 'free markets.' It's totally outdated; they don't have arguments; they don't have any sense.
