“And what do other countries, many other Third World countries, do with their natural resources? They have handed them over to the imperialist monopolies. …In the future, great poverty will await them in the midst of the expansive habits that capitalism, colonialism and imperialism have inculcated in a minority.”

“We must see how world sports evolve; nobody knows yet how far we are going to go, in an irreversible way for now, with that sad transformation of amateur sports and the Olympics into a competition of professionals.”

That system has no future. It is destroying nature and expanding hunger. Our noble and humane experience in numerous fields will be useful to many peoples in the world.”
