Cuban People

Famous quotes containing the words cuban and/or people:

“Because a person is born the subject of a given state, you deny the sovereignty of the people? How about the child of Cuban slaves who is born a slave, is that an argument for slavery? The one is a fact as well as the other. Why then, if you use legal arguments in the one case, you don’t in the other?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“So what if people say terrible things? Whatever they call me, I say, “Yes, and my name is Mary.” I refuse to be afraid. And I do this out of an obligation not to the community but to myself. Nobody should have a say in who I am.”
—Mary Hansen (b. c. 1975)
