A country that does not know how to read and write is easy to deceive.
Che Guevara
Image
Each spilt drop of blood, in any country under whose flag one has not been born, is an experience passed on to those who survive, to be added later to the liberation struggle of his own country. And each nation liberated is a phase won in the battle for the liberation of one's own country.
Che Guevara
Image
The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination! If the nuclear missiles had remained (in Cuba) we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City!
Che Guevara

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

To accomplish much you must first lose everything.
Che Guevara

One must have a large dose of humanity, a large dose of a sense of justice and truth in order to avoid dogmatic extremes, cold scholasticism, or an isolation from the masses. We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity is transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.

What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two: melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land.
Che Guevara
Image
The question is one of fighting the causes and not just being satisfied with getting rid of the effects.
Che Guevara
Image
We put no condition of any kind to the U.S., we don't want it to change its system, we don't want racial discrimination to cease in the U.S., we put no conditions to the establishment of relations.
Che Guevara
Image
The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!
Che Guevara
Image
Live your life not celebrating victories, but overcoming defeats.
Che Guevara
Image
I finally felt myself lifted definitively away on the winds of adventure toward worlds I envisaged would be stranger than they were, into situations I imagined would be much more normal than they turned out to be.
Che Guevara
Image
What we consider is that the Venezuelan government is not a leftist government, has nothing of a leftist government. It is an oppressor, an oppressive government, it is a murderer - he murders them - the peasant fights in the region of Falcon, for example, where there are military advisers of the U.S.
Che Guevara
Image
Let's liquidate all the atomic bases in Cuba and in the U.S. and we are in complete agreement with that.
Che Guevara
Image
Our youth must always be free, discussing and exchanging ideas concerned with what is happening throughout the entire world.
Che Guevara
Image
I knew that when the great guiding spirit cleaves humanity into two antagonistic halves, I will be with the people.
Che Guevara
Image
We have a lot of friends, but not among the governments - the friends are in the peoples. And in the last instance the peoples will be the rulers of those states.
