“I'm alive—the song my mother's fingers sang as they drummed on the glass table. When I look at my comrades' bodies, sprawled on the ground in filthy clothing, I wonder why we don't say that to each other after every sentence, after every word of every sentence. Or perhaps we do, and until this moment I haven't had the ears to hear this endless assertion. We're alive we all chorus, we're alive. It's our achievement. That is the music I'll hear now in our voices, whatever doleful lyric we recite.”
― Jay Cantor, Death of Che Guevara
