Armando Valladares Quotes

The Men Behind Those Iron Palisades Looked Like Skeletons; Their Faces Were White And Waxen From Lack Of Sun. One Of Them Was So Emaciated That He Seemed Unreal. He Didn't Speak, He Didn't Wave Or Gesture, He Was Simply There, Staring - He Looked To Me Like A Figure In A Wax Museum. However, Not One Of The Men There Could Have Spent More Than Two Years And A Few Days In That Jail. Just Thinking About It Sent A Shiver Of Terror Up My Spine. Two Years!
