Che Guevara Quotes

“Be realistic, demand the impossible!”

“Many will call me an adventurer, and that I am…only one of a different sort: one who risks his skin to prove his truths.”

“If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.”

“There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country’s defeat is a defeat for all of us.”
