“The fact is, when men carry the same ideals in their hearts, nothing can isolate them - neither prison walls nor the sod of cemeteries. For single memory, a single spirit, a single idea, a single conscience, a single dignity will sustain them all.”
― Fidel Castro, History Will Absolve Me
"Every person has the truth in his heart. No matter how complicated his circumstances, no matter how others look at him from the outside, and no matter how deep or shallow the truth dwells in his heart, once his heart is pierced with a crystal needle, the truth will gush forth like a geyser"

Outstanding megathread topic.
For the uninitiated, Castro's first attempt to overthrow the Batista dictatorship was an attack on the Moncada Barracks in the summer of 1953. It failed, and he was captured. At least 50 other rebels who participated in the attack were executed. Castro defended himself in court, gave a four-hour speech by heart at his sentencing, and unapologetically concluded with "La historia me absolverá." It did, and after the successful 1959 revolution he personally bulldozed the perimeter walls of the Moncada Barracks and turned the buildings into a school.
