Három új szoborral egészítettem ki a Che Guevara-ról készült művészeti alkotásokat bemutató gyűjteményemet.
Sajnos semmilyen információt nem találtam róluk, de valószínűleg mindegyik valahol Dél-Amerikában található.

For today, I am going to share with you some interesting quotes and opinions about Che Guevara by such people who met or knew him, or just studied his life.

- Why did they think that by killing him, he would cease to exist as a fighter? ... Today he is in every place, wherever there is a just cause to defend.

Fidel Castro

- Che was wearing green fatigues, and his usual overgrown and scraggly beard. Behind the beard his features are quite soft, almost feminine, and his manner is intense. He has a good sense of humor, and there was considerable joking back and forth during the meeting ... Although he left no doubt of his personal and intense devotion to communism, his conversation was free of propaganda and bombast. He spoke calmly, in a straightforward manner, and with the appearance of detachment and objectivity ... I had the definite impression that he had thought out his remarks very carefully — they were extremely well organized.

Richard N. Goodwin, US Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs

- On his trips, he would receive gifts from his hosts, some of them very expensive. He would get presents for me as well, and he would give them away if he considered them too ostentatious. I was given a color TV only to see Che pass it on to a factory worker. And back then, it was sort of an unimaginable item. Once, after a trip to Algeria, he received a barrel of an excellent wine. When he arrived home, he told me to give it to the army barracks near our home. I would not always unconditionally obey his mandates. Knowing that wine was one of the few treats he allowed himself, I kept five liters.

Heroes of work paid homage for Che Guevara

22 Heroes of Labour of the Republic of Cuba (from agriculture) visited Ernesto Guevara Sculptural Complex (Complejo Escultórico Ernesto Guevara) in Santa Clara, where they celebrated the Heroic Guerrilla.

Petronila Neyra, who has been a Hero of Labour for more than a decade, working as a harvester of coffee in the province of Guantánamo, said that visiting the place where the remains of Che and his comrades lay, are proud to Cubans. She also emphasized that volunteer work is essential to obtain the status [of the Hero of Labour] and that this is one of the main principles of Che Guevara's ideology.
Berta Hernandez, who classifies tobacco leaves in the province of Pinar del Rio, promised to double her daily work and to take part in the development of the nation.
Ezequiel Cantillo, who received the award 17 years ago, is still working over 10 hours a day in the coffee company of Yateras in Guantánamo.

Miguel Contreras, a member of the National Secretariat of Agroforestry Union, said that the programme in Villa Clara includes a tour of the National Research Institute (INIVIT - Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones de Viandas Tropicales) to exchange experiences with other, especially younger workers.
