Ever onward to victory! Our country or death!...Talk does not run out … Che Guevara
" Talk does not run out "
"I would like to say much to you and to our people, but I feel it is not necessary."
" Words cannot express what I would want them to, and I don t think it s worth while to banter phrases."
"Ever onward to victory! Our country or death!"
"I embrace you with all my revolutionary fervor."
" Farewell Letter to Fidel"
Fidel: At this moment I remember many things -- when I met you in Marfa Antonia s house, when you suggested my coming, all the tensions involved in the preparations.
One day they asked who should be notified in case of death, and the real possibility of that fact affected us all. Later we knew that it was true, that in revolution one wins or dies (if it is a real one). Many comrades fell along the way to victory.
Today everything is less dramatic, because we are more mature. But the fact is repeated. I feel that I have fulfilled the part of my duty that tied me to the Cuban Revolution in its territory, and I say good-bye to you, the comrades, your people, who are already mine.
I formally renounce my positions in the national leadership of the party, my post as minister, my rank of major, and my Cuban citizenship. Nothing legal binds me to Cuba. The only ties are of another nature -- those which cannot be broken as appointments can.
Recalling my past life, I believe I have worked with sufficient honor and dedication to consolidate the revolutionary triumph. My only serious failing was not having confided more in you from the first moments in the Sierra Maestra, and not having understood quickly enough your qualities as a leader and a revolutionary.
I have lived magnificent days, and I felt at your side the pride of belonging to our people in the brilliant yet sad days of the Caribbean crisis.
