En av mina förebilder, Bartolo Vanzetti, samt en man med en magnifik mustasch:
"If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident. Our words — our lives — our pains — nothing! The taking of our lives — lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler — all! That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph."
En annan förebild, som också råkar ha en magnifik mustasch, Emiliano Zapata:
"I want to die a slave to principles. Not to men."
"It's better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees!" (den hörs ofta attributeras till andra, men det var Zapata som sade den först)
