"We are not going to give up our principles for anything in the world. We are not going to betray our people."
"The Cuban people are not afraid to die for their country."
"I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that gave me strength in my youth and the ideas that I have now. They are the same ideas, but I have developed them."
"If surviving is an art, then I am a master."
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.
