We nationalize hydrocarbons, so now the economy is improving and the fight against poverty is also improving in Bolivia.

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.

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

Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity.

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

I do not know what to do with the emotions inside me. I do not know how to be this close to someone and still hold on to myself.

Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise.

Travel, which is like a greater and a graver science, brings us back to ourselves.

I'm a firm believer that everything in life works out the way it's supposed to. And who knows? I figure I've got a few years left (in the NHL) and maybe I can come back in the end.

Life is about coming back and mastering how to come back.

My wife's not some doobie to be passed around! I took a vow on our wedding day to bogart her for life.

Business is all about focus. But with focus comes myopia and to conquer that, I come in to shake things up. To be invited as a keynote speaker is to have a license to interfere and interrupt.

I'm doing this for my family and my country.

My family was all police and hard hats at the refineries; they didn't know what to think about me. So I became a closet writer.

People unconsciously want to reveal their inner urges.
