Beautiful quotes- Che Guevara

Live your life not celebrating victories, but overcoming defeats.

At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality...

Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted.

We must carry the war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it: to his home, to his centers of entertainment; a total war.

In the field of ideas not involving productive activities it is easier to distinguish the division between material and spiritual necessity. For a long time man has been trying to free himself from alienation through culture and art.

But this remedy bears the germs of the same sickness; it is as a solitary individual that he seeks communion with his environment.
