The photographer discovers himself/herself being photographed and we can guess he is uncomfortable. Unsuccessfully he/she tries to recompose his posture and to look like a photographer taking photos. But no, he is and continues to be a spectator. The momentous fact of being photographed leads him to becoming an actor. And, as always, actors must assume a role, which is only an elegant way of avoiding to say they must choose sides, choose a faction, take an option. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
We think, fundamentally, that the future story of Latin America, not only of Mexico but for all of Latin America, will be constructed from the bottom - that the rest of what's happening, in any case, are steps. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
This wind will come from the mountains. It is already being born under the trees and is conspiring for a new world, so new that it is barely an intuition in the collective heart that inspired it... ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In the cabaret of globalization, the state shows itself as a table dancer that strips off everything until it is left with only the minimum indispensable garments: the repressive force. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
We were born between blood and gunpowder; and between blood and gunpowder we were raised. Every so often the powerful from other lands came to rob us of tomorrow. For this reason it was written in a war song that unites us: "If a foreigner with his step ever dares to profane your land, think, Oh beloved motherland, that heaven gave you a soldier in each son." For this reason we fought. With flags and different languages the foreigner came to conquer us. He came and he went. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
The prophecy is here: When the storm calms, when rain and fire again leave the country in peace, the world will no longer be the world, but something better. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In our dreams we have seen another world, an honest world, a world decidedly more fair than the one in which we now live. We saw that in this world there was no need for armies; peace, justice and liberty were so common that no one talked about them as far-off concepts, but as things such as bread, birds, air, water, like book and voice. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
As to whether Marcos is gay: Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, ... a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In reality, the pioneers of this transformation of the indigenous Zapatista woman are a merit of the women insurgents. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
We are an army of dreamers, and that's why we're invincible. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Then the lion stares at it. It stares at its prey. Like this.' (Old Antonio frowns and fastens his black eyes on me.) 'The poor little animal that is going to die just looks. It looks at the lion, who is staring at him. The little animal no longer sees itself, it sees what the lion sees, it looks at the little animal image in the lion's stare, it sees that the lion sees it as small and weak. The little animal never thought before about whether it was small and weak. It was just an animal, neither big nor small, neither strong nor weak. But now it looks at what the lion is seeing, it looks at fear. And by looking at what the lion is seeing, the little animal convinces itself that it is small and weak. And, by looking at the fear that the lion sees, it feels afraid. And now the little animal does not look at anything. Its bones go numb, just like when water gets hold of us at night in the cold. And then the little animal just surrenders, it lets itself go and the lion gets it. That is how the lion kills. It kills by staring. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In that first blow to the deaf walls of those who have everything, the blood of our people, our blood, ran generously to wash away injustice. To live, we die. Our dead once again walked the way of truth. Our hope was fertilized with mud and blood. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
I shit on all the revolutionary vanguards of this planet ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
The word of the oldest of the old of our peoples didn't stop. It spoke the truth, saying that our feet couldn't walk alone, that our history of pain and shame was repeated and multiplied in the flesh and blood of the brothers and sisters of other lands and skies. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In previous armies, soldiers used their time to clean their weapons and stock up on ammunition. Our weapons are words, and we may need our arsenal at any moment. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
In the end, the women can be very rebellious, and very capable and all of that, but if she depends on a man economically, she has few possibilities. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Love is like a teacup that every day falls to the ground and breaks to pieces. In the morning the pieces are gathered and with a little moisture and a little warmth, the pieces are glued together, and again there is a little teacup. He who is in love spends life fearing that the terrible day will come when the teacup is so broken that it can no longer mended. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
But I'll tell you more about that later ... or maybe I won't, because some wounds just don't heal even if you talk them out. On the contrary, the more you dress them up in words, the more they bleed. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
There once was a brown horse that was brown like a bean, and he lived in the home of a very poor farmer. And the poor farmer had a very poor wife, and they had a very thin chicken and a lame little pig. And so, one day the very poor farmer s wife said: We have nothing more to eat because we are very poor, so we must eat the very thin chicken. So they killed the very thin chicken and made a thin soup and ate it. And so, for a while, they were fine; but the hunger returned and the very poor farmer told his very poor wife: We have nothing more to eat because we are so poor, so we must eat the lame little pig. And so the lame little pig s turn came and they killed it and they made a lame soup and ate it. And then it was the bean-brown horse s turn. But the bean-brown horse did not wait for the story to end; it just ran away and went to another story.

Is that the end of the story? I asked Durito, unable to hide my bewilderment. Of course not. Didn't you hear me say that the bean-brown horse fled to another story? he said as he prepared to leave. And so? I ask exasperated. And so nothing you have to look for the bean-brown horse in another story! he said, adjusting his hat. But, Durito! I said, protesting uselessly. Not one more word! You tell the story like it is ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Why do we need to be pardoned? What are we to be pardoned for? For not dying of hunger? For not accepting humbly the historic burden of disdain and abandonment? For having risen up in arms after we found all other paths closed? For not heeding the Chiapas penal code, one of the most absurd and repressive in history? For showing the rest of the country and the whole world that human dignity still exists even among the world's poorest peoples? For having made careful preparations before we began our uprising? For bringing guns to battle instead of bows and arrows? For being Mexicans? For being mainly indigenous? For calling on the Mexican people to fight by whatever means possible for what belongs to them? For fighting for liberty, democracy and justice? For not following the example of previous guerrilla armies? For refusing to surrender? For refusing to sell ourselves out? Who should we ask for pardon, and who can grant it? Those who for many years glutted themselves at a table of plenty while we sat with death so often, we finally stopped fearing it? Those who filled our pockets and our souls with empty promises and words? Or should we ask pardon from the dead, our dead, who died "natural" deaths of "natural causes" like measles, whooping cough, break-bone fever, cholera, typhus, mononucleosis, tetanus, pneumonia, malaria and other lovely gastrointestinal and pulmonary diseases? Our dead, so very dead, so democratically dead from sorrow because no one did anything, because t ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Toward the end of the Cold War, capitalism created a military horror: the neutron bomb, a weapon that destroys life while leaving buildings intact. During the Fourth World War, however, a new wonder has been discovered: the financial bomb. Unlike those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this new bomb not only destroys the polis (here, the nation), imposing death, terror, and misery on those who live there, but also transforms its target into just another piece in the puzzle of economic globalization. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Always, since our birth, we've insisted on another way of doing politics. Now, we had the chance to do it without arms, but without stopping being Zapatistas; that's why we keep the masks on. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
We don't want to impose our solutions by force, we want to create a democratic space. We don't see armed struggle in the classic sense of previous guerrilla wars, that is as the only way and the only all-powerful truth around which everything is organized. In a war, the decisive thing is not the military confrontation but the politics at stake in the confrontation. We didn't go to war to kill or be killed. We went to war in order to be heard. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
All cultures forged by nations - the noble indigenous past of America, the brilliant civilization of Europe, the wise history of Asian nations, and the ancestral wealth of Africa and Oceania - are corroded by the American way of life. In this way, neoliberalism imposes the destruction of nations and groups of nations in order to reconstruct them according to a single model. This is a planetary war, of the worst and cruelest kind, waged against humanity. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
Question the images. Take them by the hand and don't let the sweet distancing they offer you vanquish you; do away with the distance's comfort or the soft indifference you derive from concentrating on the quality of the framing, the use of light and shadows, the successful composition. Force these images to bring you to the Mexican Southeast, to history, to the struggle, to this taking sides, to choose a faction. ~ Subcomandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Subcomandante Marcos
I am beyond logic and rationality. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
They [Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz] will never give peace a chance because they are saying the moment they are elected, the first thing they will do is to rip up the agreement that allowed $150 billion of Iranian money to be returned to them. They don't want this agreement and that will surely lead to war. ~ Louis Farrakhan
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Louis Farrakhan
Marco Rubio announced he's running for president. Fun fact: Marco Rubio's wife is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader. In other words, she knows how to generate fake enthusiasm for someone who's not going to win. ~ Conan O'Brien
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Conan O'Brien
Trapped in silence, Marco traces apologies and adorations across Celia's body with his tongue. Mutely expressing all the things he cannot speak aloud.
He finds other ways to tell her, his fingers leaving faint trails of ink in their wake. He savors every sound he elicits from her.
The entire room trembles as they come together.
And though there are a great many fragile objects contained within it, nothing breaks. ~ Erin Morgenstern
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Erin Morgenstern
I am my little people's star and slave. When I go out into the barrios, I get dressed because I know my little people want to see a star. Other presidents' wives have gone to the barrios wearing house dresses and slippers. That's not what people want to see. People want someone they can love, someone to set an example. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
I do not have 3,000 pairs of shoes, I have 1,060. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
There was a long silence, during which Father Marco's thoughts finally drifted from the matter of wealth to the matter of God - few minds can entertain both subjects at once. ~ Laila Lalami
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Laila Lalami
Shadows gripped him at the thought. If Thomas changed his mind once Marcos got his grief and emotional shit under control, if he tried to withdraw again ... Marcus knew he didn't have the energy left to fight him. After all the harrowing years when he never let himself entertain the notion, even in his darkest moment, Marcus now knew he would have a compelling reason to take his own life. ~ Joey W. Hill
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Joey W. Hill
It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
The real con artist is Senator Marco Rubio.Who was elected in Florida and who has the worst voting record in the United States Senate. He doesn't go to vote. He's absent. ~ Donald Trump
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Donald Trump
Beauty is not extravagance; beauty is life. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
Compared to Imelda Marcos, Marie Antoinette was a bag lady. ~ Stephen J. Solarz
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Stephen J. Solarz
I am First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
The Philippines is where Asia wears a smile. Beautiful products can only be made by happy people. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
It is our belief and our practice that in order to rebel and struggle, we need neither leaders, nor caudillos, nor messiahs, nor saviors. To struggle, we only need a little bit of disgrace, a good amount of dignity and a lot of organization. The rest is either useful for the collective or it isn't," reads the last communiqué. ~ Sub Commandante Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Sub Commandante Marcos
I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
When I ask President Marcos for two million dollars, at worst he wants to know whether he should bring the money straight away or whether I can wait for a cheque in the post. ~ Florencio Campomanes
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Florencio Campomanes
Then, on a left-hand curve 2.8 kilometres from the finish line, Marco delivers another cutting acceleration. Tonkov is immediately out of the saddle. The gap reaches two lengths. Tonkov fights his way back and is on Marco's wheel when Marco, who is still standing on the pedals, accelerates again. Suddenly Tonkov is no longer there. Afterwards Tonkov would say he could no longer feel his hands and feet. 'I had to stop. I lost his slipstream. I couldn't go on.' Marco told Romano Cenni he could taste blood. His performance on Montecampione was close to self-mutilation.
Seven hundred metres from the finish line, the TV camera on the inside of the final right-hand bend, looking down the hill, picks Marco up over two hundred metres from the line and follows him for fifty metres, a fifteen-second close-up, grainy, pallid in the late-afternoon light. A car and motorbike, diffused and ghostlike, pass between the camera and Marco, emerging out of the gloom. The image cuts to another camera, tight on him as he swings round into the finishing straight, a five-second flash before the live, wide shot of the stage finish: Marco, framed between ecstatic fans on either side, and the finish-line scaffolding adorned with race sponsors' logos; largest, and centrally, the Gazzetta dello Sport, surrounded by branding for iced tea, shower gel, telephone services.
Then we see it again in the super-slow-motion replay; the five seconds between the moment Marco appeared in the closing straigh ~ Matt Rendell
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Matt Rendell
I think the people of Florida are fed up. I don't think Marco Rubio can - I mean, I may be wrong, but I don't think he can be elected dogcatcher in Florida. ~ Donald Trump
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Donald Trump
The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
I get my fingers in all our pies. Before you know it, your little fingers including all your toes are in all the pies. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
The permissiveness of society must be balanced with authoritativeness. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
Marco Rubio has got the number one worst attendance record, and they want him to be president, right? ~ Donald Trump
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Donald Trump
What we ask of the developed countries is to let the Third World find a third way. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
After all these years, he couldn't believe he'd recognized her so instantly. He prayed that she wouldn't recognize him, but as her eyes widened, he knew she had.
"Marcos?" she breathed.
And his worst nightmare came true. His cover was blown. ~ Elizabeth Heiter
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Elizabeth Heiter
Some people say the president is incapable of enforcing the law. Let them say that once more and I will set the tanks on them. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
Marco Rubio, I think, will be president some day. Whether 2016 is his time, time will tell. He embraced immigration reform. He seems to have backed off. I'll let him explain why. ~ Lindsey Graham
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Lindsey Graham
It is terribly important to do certain things, such as wear overembroidered dresses. After all, the mass follows class. Class never follows mass. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
The challenge to Asia is to discard the dry, meatless bone of mysticism and fatalism. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
Readers are distrustful and, although they accept the rules of the proposed game upon entry, they remain on the lookout for the slightest contradiction and often allow their own prejudices to lead them astray. When they have an openly autobiographical text in their hands, they lie in wait for possible falsehoods. When it's a novel or a story, they try to uncover the autobiographical subtext. ~ Marcos Giralt Torrente
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Marcos Giralt Torrente
You had to see him [Marco Rubio] backstage. He was putting on make up with a trowel. ~ Donald Trump
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Donald Trump
There is still one of which you never speak.'
Marco Polo bowed his head.
'Venice,' the Khan said.
Marco smiled. 'What else do you believe I have been talking to you about?'
The emperor did not turn a hair. 'And yet I have never heard you mention that name.'
And Polo said: 'Every time I describe a city I am saying something about Venice. ~ Italo Calvino
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Italo Calvino
You have to know the rules before you can break them. ~ Marcos Mateu-Mestre
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Marcos Mateu-Mestre
In the material world, where everything is valued, when you commit yourself to God, beauty and love, it can be mistaken for extravagance. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
You know, I think Marco Rubio would be a spectacular candidate for vice president. I think he would energize the country. I think he has a great story. He's bright. He's articulate. ~ Mario Diaz-Balart
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Mario Diaz-Balart
All she had was the desire to be desirable ~ Michelle Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Michelle Marcos
I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food. ~ Imelda Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Imelda Marcos
You are a bit like that painting, Minnow. Remember how lovingly and carefully formed you are. Your thoughts, your talents, your memories, your mistakes ... they all make the complete canvas of you. Even though others may mistake your worth, you must never value yourself any less. ~ Michelle Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Michelle Marcos
History should not be left to the historians. Rather, be like Churchill. Make history, and then write it. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
It is not a choice of life, it is a choice of death. If this is life, I'd rather die. ~ Ferdinand Marcos
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Ferdinand Marcos
I cannot have this Imelda Marcos woman beating me, whoever she is,' Suki shrugged by way of explanation. ~ Sarah Alderson
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Sarah Alderson
Are you Hannah's boyfriend?"
... Marco's reply was, "Nope. She won't let me be."
Beth had immediately turned her cute look of consternation on me. "That's really rude, Hannah. ~ Samantha Young
Subcomandante Marcos quotes by Samantha Young
The necklace, Marcos," she said firmly, leveling the gun at his heart once more. "I'll take it now."

"It's not here, querida. You waste your time."

Francesca lowered the gun to point at his groin. "Killing you would be too good. Perhaps I will simply have to deprive the female world of your ability to make love ever again. I am quite a good shot, I assure you."

She'd learned out of necessity. And though she never wanted to harm another human being, she had no compunction about making this man think she would do so if it meant she could save Jacques.

His voice dropped to a growl. A hateful, angry growl. "You won't get away with this. Whoever you are, Frankie, I will find you. I will find you and make you wish you'd never met me."

Her heart flipped in her chest. She ignored it. "I already wish that. Now give me the jewel before you lose the ability to ever have children."

Bitterness twisted inside her as she said those words. Ironic to threaten someone with something she would never wish on another soul. But she had to be hard, cold, ruthless – just like he was.

He stared at her in impotent fury, his jaw grinding, his beautiful black eyes flashing daggers at her. Very slowly, he reached up with one hand and slipped his bowtie free of its knot.

Then he jerked it loose and let it fall. ~ Lynn Raye Harris
