"We did not have a lot of resources, yet the education we got then was more stable, more practical, the children learned more, they knew more. Today education has been quite average for a while. I do not say that lightly, nowaday children in the eighth, ninth, tenth grade, even graduated doctors, do not know basic mathematical operations or multiples. A lot of fourth- or fifth-grade children often can't properly read nor correctly write.”

"Fidel is a traitor. The only counterrevolutionary who ever existed is Fidel [Castro]. It wasn't Huber Matos or anyone else, just Fidel. The rebel army was built on ideals which he completely betrayed. The fact that hundreds of members of the rebel troops withdrew from the army his betrayal validates. Some officials left the country, others were imprisoned, and the rest were murdered by Fidel."

"My father warned people that this upstart [Fidel Castro] is a bold Foul Mouth, just like his father was, and Cuba can only expect communism from him. He proclaimed these phrases fearlessly. Therefore he was always persecuted, they even arrested him once and wanted to convict him, but in the end, they had to let him go. He had never inclined to the regime. He always repelled it for numerous reasons. The first time, because of the intervention ordered by Fidel [Castro]. The second time when Castro announced that people could no longer eat beef. And the third reason was the imposition of ration coupons, due to which people did not have enough supplies for one single month."
