„The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara

„We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara

„If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara

„Now is the time to throw off the yoke, to force renegotiation of oppressive foreign debts“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: Now is the time to throw off the yoke, to force renegotiation of oppressive foreign debts, and to force the imperialists to abandon their bases of aggression.
„Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear and another hand may be extended to wield our weapons and other men be ready to intone the funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the machine-guns and new battle cries of war and victory.
„My Marxism has taken root and become purified.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: My Marxism has taken root and become purified. I believe in armed struggle as the only solution for those peoples who fight to free themselves, and I am consistent with my beliefs.
„I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation. One of the fundamental objectives of Marxism is to remove interest, the factor of individual interest, and gain, from people's psychological motivations. Marx was preoccupied both with economic factors and with their repercussions on the spirit. If communism isn't interested in this too, it may be a method of distributing goods, but it will never be a revolutionary way of life.
As quoted in The Many Faces of Socialism Comparative Sociology and Politics (1983) by Paul Hollander, p. 224,
„The laws of capitalism, blind and invisible to the majority, act upon the individual without his thinking about it.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: The laws of capitalism, blind and invisible to the majority, act upon the individual without his thinking about it. He sees only the vastness of a seemingly infinite horizon before him. That is how it is painted by capitalist propagandists, who purport to draw a lesson from the example of Rockefeller — whether or not it is true — about the possibilities of success.
The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this.
„Our task is to prevent the present generation, torn asunder by its conflicts, from becoming perverted and from perverting new generations.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
Context: Our task is to prevent the present generation, torn asunder by its conflicts, from becoming perverted and from perverting new generations. We must not bring into being either docile servants of official thought or scholarship students who live at the expense of the state — practising "freedom." Already there are revolutionaries coming who will sing the song of the new man in the true voice of the people. This is a process, which takes time.
