I ask your forgiveness for having fallen. To prevent speculation, I observe I have a fracture in the knee and maybe the arm too, I'm not sure.

More from Fidel Castro
"I am not a communist, I am a socialist."
"We do not know what a communist is. We do not know what socialism is. We are simply following our own path."
"The United States has a law that says if you are Cuban and you step on U.S. soil, you are immediately a U.S. citizen. And then they complain about illegal immigration."
"The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
"The first thing that a revolutionary needs is a sense of humor. If he doesn't have it, he's going to be a fanatic."
About Fidel Castro (1926-2016)
Cuban revolutionary who overthrew Batista in 1959 and led Cuba's communist state for 49 years through 11 US presidents. Closely associated with Che Guevara (his revolutionary partner) and Hugo Chávez (Latin American successor in Venezuela). For an intellectual contrast, see Ronald Reagan, Cold War US president — Reagan's hardline anti-communism and economic-warfare strategy made Cuba a test case for the entire late-Cold-War US foreign policy — the institutional power Castro's island state spent 49 years resisting.
