For me, being leftist means fighting against injustice and inequality but, most of all, we want to live well.

We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth. Capitalism is what is causing this problem and it needs to end.

Bolivia is a majority indigenous nation, but that majority has always been excluded.

I'm just the democratic voice of Bolivia.

I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.

Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture, and we don't want to make any enemies. Political and ideological adversaries, perhaps, but not enemies.

The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.

Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity.

Globalization creates economic policies where the transnationals lord over us, and the result is misery and unemployment.

The fight against drug trafficking is a false pretext for the United States to install military bases.

Israel does not respect the principles or purposes of the United Nations charter nor the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Do not allow your life to just fly out of your own hands. Do not allow your life to just disappear into some abstract mirage.

If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we'd have a better world.

Rulers come and go. It's the people who are the real rulers of the country.

No Vermont town ever let anybody in it starve.

Why look in the dark for light?

Some days I am not sure if my faith is riddled with doubt or whether, graciously, my doubt is riddled with faith.

Love is art, not truth. It’s like painting scenery.

Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen; the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.

Knowledge is power...knowled ge is safety...knowle dge is happiness.

Who mocks at music mocks at love.
