Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters.

Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.

We stand todaybefore the awful proposition: either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; or, the victory of socialism.

The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built.

What do you want with these special Jewish pains? I feel as close to the wretched victims of the rubber plantations in Putamayo and the blacks of Africa with whose bodies the Europeans play ball… I have no special corner in my heart for the ghetto: I am at home in the entire world, where there are clouds and birds and human tears.

Life is singing also in the sand crunching under the slow and heavy steps of the guards, when we know how to listen to it.

Tomorrow the revolution will 'rise up again, clashing its weapons,' and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be!
