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

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.
Silence is argument carried out by other means.
I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
