Martyr…

The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man. Unless he understands this, he does not grasp the essential meaning of his life.

My fear was not death itself, but a death without meaning. I wanted my death to be something the people could relate to, a basis for further mobilization of the community.

Too many so-called leaders of the movement have been made into celebrities and their revolutionary fervor destroyed by mass media. They become hollywood objects and lose identification with the real issues. The task is to transform society; only the people can do that-not heroes, not celebrities, not stars. The revolutionary’s place is in the community with the people.
