The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power.

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.

I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral.

I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

Photography speaks a universal language that does not need translation, and with an immediacy that the written word lacks. It freezes a moment in time, leaving an indelible image.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

I don't want to wear what every other women wears. I won't be dictated to.

I don't believe in lobbying only progressives and liberal members of Congress. I don't believe in doing interviews only with those who share my views. I want to reach a wider audience.

The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.

Other than the voices in my head, I think I’m pretty normal.

It's bad when they don't treat you right... but it's tragic that you continue to allow it. Let today be the day you love yourself enough to say, NEVER AGAIN!

How needy man is.

Humans were so ignorant, taking for granted what they received from each other, never knowing the energy they passed between themselves.

No way to get away. No way to get away. Little change to sneak away... insanity.

You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind.

The desire to confess ... lies at the root of most fiction writing.

Keep ambitions high, in front of God and people, Your credibility will be in proportion to your ambitions

The "coalition against terrorism" means the United States. It does not wish anyone else to interfere with its strategy.
