“One does not wait for the "ripe" objective circumstances to make a revolution, circumstances become "ripe" through the political struggle itself.”
“The revolution is not an apple that falls when ripe. You have to make it fall.”
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”
“I am ripe. Ripe enough to hear your Truth. But shout it for one ear remains deaf.”
“Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.”
“Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances”
