Hugo Chavez
I wish we could begin a new period of normal relations with the government of the United States.
Hugo Chavez
Noam Chomsky has a book, which I read for the first time when I was in Spain, called 'Fear of Democracy'. There is your answer. Fear of democracy. In Honduras, they had a sham democracy. It was run by elites, what was called a liberal democracy, but in reality was a false democracy.
Hugo Chavez
The ones who close the path for peacefull revolution, at the same time open the path for violent revolution.
Hugo Chavez

I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.
Hugo Chavez
I shook Obama's hand and I said, 'I want to be your friend.' My hand is still outstretched. I am not Obama's enemy, but it's difficult not see imperialism in Washington. Those who don't see it don't want to see it, like the ostrich.
Hugo Chavez
It doesn't smell of sulphur any more. No, it smells of something else. It smells of hope, and you have to have hope in your heart.
Hugo Chavez
I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.
Hugo Chavez
I love Jesus Christ. I am a Christian... I cry when I see injustice, children dying of hunger.
Hugo Chavez
What is the U.S. government looking for? And the elite governing this country? They're looking for oil.
Hugo Chavez
For us Catholics, John Paul II will be remembered as a traveling Pope ... and we should also remember he preached world peace. When the United States invaded Iraq, for example, John Paul II said it was an illegal and immoral act.
Hugo Chavez
I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.
Hugo Chavez
Most governments in the United States in a hundred years have not respected the peoples of Latin America. They have sponsored coup d'etats, assassinations.
