I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Capitalism has neither the capacity, nor the morality, nor the ethics to solve the problems of poverty.

Condemn me, it does not matter: history will absolve me.

I'm no prophet and I'm no genius, but I can only tell you what I seem to know. As a fan of television and the movies, I think it's all for the better.

I just get up in the morning and say: 'Yeah man, I'm ready to score goals.'
