If someone is responsible, it's me.
Fidel Castro
There is no more democratic government than a revolutionary government.
Fidel Castro
I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating... because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.
Fidel Castro
It would have been the easiest thing in the world for us to build those emplacements under the guise of something totally different and they would have never been discovered. The amazing thing was that they weren't discovered earlier. It was a question of carelessness, lack of foresight.
Fidel Castro
We need a Nuremberg to put on trial the economic order that they have imposed on us, that every three years kills more men, women and children by hunger and preventable or curable diseases than the death toll in six years of the second world war.
Fidel Castro
We have a theoretical concept of the Revolution which is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
Fidel Castro
How can we help President Obama?
Fidel Castro
Fellow workers and peasants, this is the socialist and democratic revolution of the working people, with the working people, and for the working people. And for this revolution of the working people, by the working people, and for the working people we are prepared to give our lives.
Fidel Castro
If we had paused to tell the people that we were Marxist-Leninists while we were on Pico Turquino and not yet strong, it is possible that we would never have been able to descend to the plains.
Fidel Castro
I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.
Fidel Castro
If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism.
Fidel Castro
Why do some people have to go barefoot so that others can drive luxury cars? Why are some people able to live only 35 years in order that others can live 70 years? Why do some people have to be miserably poor in order that others can be extravagantly rich? I speak for all the children in the world who don't even have a piece of bread.
Fidel Castro
In the Third World, there are 1.3 billion poor people. In other words, one out of every three inhabitants lives in poverty.
Fidel Castro
Today, the entire country is an immense University.
Fidel Castro
I have not seen the Himalayas. But I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, this man is the Himalayas. I have thus had the experience of witnessing the Himalayas.
Fidel Castro
If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal.
Fidel Castro
A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
Fidel Castro
I don't think anyone has been slandered more than the Jews.
Fidel Castro
Forgive me for using the term 'fat little brother'. It is not a criticism, rather a suggestion that he do some exercises and go on a diet, don't you think? I'm doing this for the gentleman's health.
Fidel Castro
I am someone who's been in politics for 43 years and I know what I'm doing and what I should do. Have no doubt that I know how to tell the truth and to do so elegantly.
Fidel Castro
