Che Guevara

Given the prevailing lack of discipline, it would have been impossible to use Congolese machine-gunners to defend the base from air attack: they did not know how to handle their weapons and did not want to learn.

After the first drink, I categorically refuse to have another one and Alberto laughs at me. Our patron gets angry and insists, I refuse again without giving any explanation. Our man persists and, at that moment, I confess to him all confused that in Argentina we are used to drink while eating. The amount of food obviously depends on the client's head, but our technique is well established.

I have a wish. It is a wish that I have always had. It is to see the day when the last man who thinks he is a capitalist is hanged with the guts of the last priest.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.

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

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, reach some receptive ear and another hand stretch out to take up our weapons.

Many will call me an adventurer – and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his truths.

To be a revolutionary, one must be a romantic.

Study hard, work hard, fight hard, and you will be able to achieve anything.

The revolution is something that is carried in the soul, not in the mouth.

I would rather die standing than live on my knees.

There are no frontiers in this struggle to the death. We cannot remain indifferent in the face of what occurs in any part of the world. A victory for any country against imperialism is our victory, just as any defeat of any country is our defeat.

The greatest joy of all is to be a revolutionary.

To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory.

The best way to defend a revolution is to make it irreversible.

The final hour of colonialism has struck, and millions of inhabitants of Africa, Asia and Latin America rise to meet a new life and demand their undisputed right to self-determination and to decide their own destinies.

Revolutions are not made with rose water, but with blood.

The individual must be subordinated to the collective.
