{{cquote|I feel my belief in sacrifice and struggle getting stronger. I despise the kind of existence that clings to the miserly trifles of comfort and self-interest. I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened}}
Fidel Castro in a letter from Presidio Modelo (Model Prison), Dec. 19, 1953.
