The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.

I have a lot of trouble understanding all the detail of finance and administration - but if you combine intellectual and professional capacity with a social conscience, you can change things: countries, structures, economic models, colonial states.

We are going to change Bolivia, we are going to change Latin America.

We are not alone. The world is with us. We are in a time of triumph, a time of change.

The 500 years of Indian resistance have not been in vain. From 500 years of resistance we pass to another 500 years in power.

We are starting a process of decolonization in Bolivia. All this is bringing about change and we will continue.
