Diplomats Of Cuba

"Guevara remains a national hero in Cuba where he is remembered for promoting unpaid voluntary work by working shirtless on building sites or hauling sacks of sugar. To this day, he appears on a Cuban banknote cutting sugar cane with a machete in the fields."

"He was a man full of hatred ... Che Guevara executed dozens and dozens of people who never once stood trial and were never declared guilty ... In his own words, he said the following: "At the smallest of doubt we must execute." And that's what he did at the Sierra Maestra and the prison of Las Cabanas."

"Guevara was a ruthless enforcer of communist rule, overseeing summary executions in the early years of the Cuban Revolution."

"Che Che He's wearing a red star Smoking his cigar And when he died The whole world lied They said he was a saint But I know he ain't."

"He had eyes that seemed to go through you. I've interviewed all sorts of famous people, from Ben Gurion to Bob Dylan, but no one has ever made an impression on me like Che did. There was something Christ-like about him. I really felt that when he was talking to me, he was telling the truth."

"I think that a political revolution is something that starts within each of us. Yes, I think there will be a revolution. There must be a revolution. I think there must be a revolution in this country. But I think that the revolution of institutions cannot really add a new solution or really take unless it is the revolution that begins with the self based on the internal demands of the people. As Che Guevara said shortly before he died, the great revolutions are those revolutions guided by the basic principles of love. And I am not speaking of wishy-washy flowery love, I'm thinking of what I have been saying to you for the last half hour that requires the nitty gritty alterations of institutions into our dreams."

"I don't think you and I are very closely related, however, if you are capable of trembling with indignation each time that an injustice is committed anywhere in the world, we are comrades, and that is more important."

"In order to know about the illnesses of society, you have to know what men are suffering from, how they suffer."

"Real revolutionaries adorn themselves on the inside, not on the surface."

"We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it."

"I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. It exists when people liberate themselves."

"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall."
