I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.
Hugo Chavez
Mutual respect! That's what it takes to be friends.

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
I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.
Hugo Chavez
The imperialist, genocidal, fascist attitude of the U.S. president has no limits. I think Hitler would be like a suckling baby next to George W. Bush.

Hugo Chavez
The United States is like Count Dracula who at six o'clock in the morning has not sucked [any necks].

Even socialist dictators have an interest in gorgeous supermodels.
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
When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
