I think I'm in love with a dead man...
On the United States:
"In the sins it commits, its errors, where it falls short - it is necessary to study this people, in order that we [Cubans] will not make the same mistakes... It is a great nation, the only one where a man c an really achieve greatness. However, both through a constant pride in its prosperity and the fact that in order to maintain its vast appetite it is always overextended, this people falls in a moral vacuum, its better senses poisoned, adoring - wrongly - success above all else." -Jose Marti, 1885
