Che Guevara

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.

I knew that the moment the great governing spirit strikes the blow to divide all humanity into just two opposing factions, I would be on the side of the common people.

One must harden without ever losing tenderness.

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.

I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation.

I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, you are only going to kill a man.

The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.

Much more definitive and much more lasting than all the gold that one can accumulate is the gratitude of a people.

The people are weary of being oppressed, persecuted, exploited to the maximum.

Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests; legal interpretations will continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers.

This epic before us is going to be written by the hungry Indian masses, the peasants without land, the exploited workers.
