Víctor Jara quotes

Víctor Jara was a Chilean singer-songwriter, theatre director, and political activist, widely regarded as a key figure in the Nueva Canción movement. His music and activism served as powerful expressions of social justice and human rights in Latin America. He became a symbol of resistance and was tragically killed during the 1973 military coup in Chile. Here are 2 of his quotes:

Love of my home, my wife and my children./ Love for the earth that helps me live./ Love for education and of work./ Love of others who work for the common good./ Love of justice as the instrument that provides equilibrium for human dignity./ Love of peace in order to enjoy one's life./ Love of freedom, but not the freedom acquired at the expense of others' freedom, but rather the freedom of all./ Love of freedom to live and exist, for the existence of my children, in my home, in my town, my city, among neighbouring people./ Love for freedom in the environment in which we are required to forge our destiny./ Love of freedom without yokes: nor ours nor foreign.
