Quotes
- “Communism has established centres of infection... No area in the world is as vital to American security as the Caribbean...We need a massive injection of money to reset the country on its feet, and this injection can come only from our great, capable friend and neighbor the United States.”
- “I accept the people's will. As a revolutionary, I have no right to disregard the will of the people.”
- “Bullets and machine guns capable of daunting Duvalier do not exist. They cannot touch me... I am already an immaterial being. No foreigner is going to tell me what to do! If the OAS claims the right to intervene because of repressive conditions, why don't they land troops in Alabama?”
- “God and the people are the source of all power. I have twice been given the power. I have taken it, and damn it, I will keep it forever.”
