“Camilo was very clear about what revolution meant: not for nothing did he have a revolutionary family background, not for nothing was he a humble worker, not for nothing did he imbibe revolutionary ideas from an early age, not for nothing did he have a tremendous revolutionary spirit, not for nothing did he have a great revolutionary soul.”
Citas
“Camilo's story takes on all its meaning, not only because of what he did, not only because of his heroic actions in combat, but also because of his ideas, his concepts, his profoundly revolutionary purposes. That is also why I was saying that on a day like today Camilo would be happy, and if there is a fight ahead, he would have been still happier; if there are difficulties, even happier; if there is a challenge, happier; if injustice remains to be rectified, happier; and if the heroic and historic struggle of our people against the empire is maintained in all its vigor, Camilo would be happier!”
“Camilo came up from the people and had the opportunity to nurture and develop his extraordinary qualities; but when I see our youths operating a lathe or a smelting furnace; when I see them working in a laboratory for 10, 12, 13 and 14 hours, I feel reassured in my deepest conviction that there are many Camilos among our people.”
