Cubans are a people who suffered from capitalism in the cruelest way, in the social order, the economic order and the political order.

The future of Cuba is one earned by a country that has resisted for over 50 years against the most powerful empire on Earth. The resilience of its people made this triumph materialize.

There is no one more talkative than Cubans, Cubans express their feelings, there's nobody more rebellious and revolutionary than a Cuban and I say that without chauvinism.

In Cuba we had the most ferocious form of capitalism for 60 years. It dominated every sphere of life.

To apply communism is an aspiration, in fact it has never been applied anywhere, it is really still a utopia.

Today China is a first world economy, in terms of development. The U.S. may still be in first in GDP but it is a broken economy in reality.

Cuba has not accepted the domain and imposition of an empire that has wanted to dominate us for over half a century [America].

The United States turned to repression when its prominence started to slip in Latin America through establishing military dictatorships.

Under communism, no one would be living in marginal conditions as they do under capitalism today and where the greatest part of humanity lives.

In Cuba we are building a socialist society and we could say we are on the verge of a communist society which is hard to achieve, very hard to achieve, but is a longing worth fighting for.

True medicine is to defend human life in any circumstances and not for political reasons or for reasons of any other kind, it is really to help, that is true solidarity.

By night, Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two together in their sleep will defeat the darkness

Order is heaven's first law.

To live with Faith, eliminate Fear. Only one can exist in our Life at any point of time. -RVM

everything is dangerous, nothing is innocent

Life is the force of the absolute, the supreme, the Creator who creates everything.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

Between the mouth and the morsel many things may happen.

Great loves have legs and wings. They are substantial. They do not dissapate so easily... Great loves have staying power. Or so I told myself.

I shall become a master in this art only after a great deal of practice.

Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.
