`Che Guevara`,`Notes for the Study of the Ideology of the Cuban Revolution (1960 )`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1960/10/08.htm`,`The merit of Marx is that he suddenly produces a qualitative change in the history of social thought. He interprets history, understands its dynamic, predicts the future, but in addition to predicting it (which would satisfy his scientific obligation), he expresses a revolutionary concept: the world must not only be interpreted, it must be transformed. Man ceases to be the slave and tool of his environment and converts himself into the architect of his own destiny.`
`Che Guevara`,`On Development (1964)`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1964/03/25.htm`,`And the imperialists? Will they sit with their arms crossed? No!The system they practice is the cause of the evils from which we are suffering, but they will try to obscure the facts with spurious allegations, of which they are masters. They will try to compromise the conference and sow disunity in the camp of the exploited countries by offering them pittances.`
`Che Guevara`,`Socialism and Man in Cuba (1965)`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1965/03/man-socialism.htm`,`At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Perhaps it is one of the great dramas of the leader that he or she must combine a passionate spirit with a cold intelligence and make painful decisions without flinching. Our vanguard revolutionaries must idealize this love of the people, of the most sacred causes, and make it one and indivisible. They cannot descend, with small doses of daily affection, to the level where ordinary people put their love into practice. `
`Che Guevara`,`Speech to the United Nations (1964)`,`http://marxists.org/archive/guevara/1964/12/11.htm`,`There is no small enemy nor insignificant force, because no longer are there isolated peoples.`
