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

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.

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.

When their mouths collided, the earth shifted, and she felt like she was coming face-to-face with death, and the brush was sweet, while he experienced life in the most shattering way.

How often we find ourselves turning our backs on our actual friends, that we might go and meet their ideal cousins.

Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance.

Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.

Theater in Chicago will always be my first love.
