“To lovers out there … Some people are the way they are. They even converted and became something they are not, because they had never experienced or received love from their partners. They had been into multiple relationships or marriages but had never experienced true love shown to them. Reason might be because of their attitude or behavior. Might be also because of the type or preferences they select. Not that they have bad luck or not meant to be loved.”

“El partido (comunista) siempre se ha dicho: vamos a hacer alianzas con otros amigos que no son de nuestra ideología; ha ido siempre con el criterio de ser el que señala el rumbo de los partidos en esas alianzas. El partido no iba ahí gratis: me voy a subir a ese tren y me da lo mismo ir en la locomotora que atrás en el último vagón. No, el partido siempre ha ido allá porque ha creído que él es el que tiene la luz de la verdad. La luz de la verdad revolucionaria no se asienta en cualquier parte, sino en la dirección, en la conducción del movimiento.
