"When the homeland was for just a privileged few, the word “homeland “ had no meaning; when the land was in the hands of speculators or latifundia owners, the land on which we lived had no meaning; the only thing we owned was the air that we could breathe, and that was only because they could not register it as their property nor lock the air inside a warehouse".
