Ernesto Che Guevara
“Some give the impression they go on living only because it's a habit they cannot shake”
Ernesto Che Guevara, The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey

Hồ Chí Minh
“The U.S. imperialists supply armaments to their henchmen to massacre the Indochinese peoples. They dump their goods in Indochina to prevent the development of local handicrafts. Their pornographic culture depraves the youth in areas placed under their control. They follow the policy of buying up, deluding and dividing our people. They strive to turn some bad elements into U.S. agents that they use for the conquest of our country.”
Hồ Chí Minh, Against US Aggression For National Salvation

Mikhail Bulgakov
“The only thing he said was that among human vices he considered cowardice one of the first.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Frantz Fanon
“And for me bourgeois society is any society that becomes ossified in a predetermined mold, stifling any development, progress, or discovery. For me bourgeois society is a closed society where it's not good to be alive, where the air is rotten and ideas and people are putrefying. And I believe that a man who takes a stand against this living death is in a way a revolutionary.”
Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

Arthur Schopenhauer
“It is the upper classes, people of wealth, who are the greatest victims of boredom. Lucretius long ago described their miserable state, and the truth of his description may be still recognized to-day, in the life of every great capital—where the rich man is seldom in his own halls, because it bores him to be there, and still he returns thither, because he is no better off outside;—or else he is away in post-haste to his house in the country, as if it were on fire; and he is no sooner arrived there, than he is bored again, and seeks to forget everything in sleep, or else hurries back to town once more”
Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims
