The future of Cuba is one earned by a country that has resisted for over 50 years against the most powerful empire on Earth. The resilience of its people made this triumph materialize.

There is no one more talkative than Cubans, Cubans express their feelings, there's nobody more rebellious and revolutionary than a Cuban and I say that without chauvinism.

In Cuba we had the most ferocious form of capitalism for 60 years. It dominated every sphere of life.

To apply communism is an aspiration, in fact it has never been applied anywhere, it is really still a utopia.

Today China is a first world economy, in terms of development. The U.S. may still be in first in GDP but it is a broken economy in reality.

Cuba has not accepted the domain and imposition of an empire that has wanted to dominate us for over half a century [America].

The United States turned to repression when its prominence started to slip in Latin America through establishing military dictatorships.

Cubans are a people who suffered from capitalism in the cruelest way, in the social order, the economic order and the political order.

Under communism, no one would be living in marginal conditions as they do under capitalism today and where the greatest part of humanity lives.

In Cuba we are building a socialist society and we could say we are on the verge of a communist society which is hard to achieve, very hard to achieve, but is a longing worth fighting for.

True medicine is to defend human life in any circumstances and not for political reasons or for reasons of any other kind, it is really to help, that is true solidarity.

God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture.

When the voices of democracy are silenced, freedom becomes a hollow concept. No man or woman should be sentenced to the shadows of silence for something he or she has said or written.

Now I do bowling, golf, and tennis. I want to be a good bowler.

Work honestly, meditate everyday, meet people without fear and play.

Step by step, we will break this cycle of silence, poor information and stigma.

People are intrigued and fascinated, almost obsessed with the private lives of great public personalities.

The masses need something that will give them a thrill of horror.

What we see is not always what exists.

There's a wealth that has nothing to do with dollars, that comes from the perspective and wisdom of paying attention to your life.
