“A revolutionary must have solid foundation of revolutionary morality in order to fulfill his glorious revolutionary task.”
― Hồ Chí Minh, On Revolution: Selected Writings, 1920-1966

“My words verge on silence
like great birds that disappear
into the early evening: their
strenuous white wings
carry off the intense sweetness
of dusk, visible then
in starlight.
My words turn toward the night
with no look back
at what is lost or won, or
what is missing,

— Cinto Vitier, from “Greater Solitude,” transl. Kathleen Weaver, Image: Art, Faith, Mystery (no. 65, Spring 2010)”

“There is no name for what life should be, except
what you did and what you do to my soul.”
― Mahmoud Darwish, Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems

“[W]e understood perfectly that the life of a single human being is worth millions of times more than all the property of the richest man on earth. . . . [The revolution] demands they understand that pride in serving our fellow man is much more important than a good income; that the people's gratitude is much more permanent, much more lasting than all the gold one can accumulate.”
― Che Guevara
