Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people!
President Salvador Allende's farewell speech, September 11, 1973.26

• "We could never conclusively prove what their
  system for killing kidnapped people was. However,
  we know they were put unconscious into a plane
  and thrown out into the sea. I even discovered in
  the documentation section, a book which explained
  the process by which a body decomposes in the
  sea..." Excerpt from Nunca más. Survivor Carlos
  Muñoz, file 704.

• "You incorporate fearit becomes a part of
  you. You live daily with fear. Life somehow has
  to go on. And mostly when terror is all about,
  you dont want to know, because if you know, you
  become involved. You might make a remark, you
  can become a suspect. You dont want to know that
  hundreds, perhaps thousands of people are
  dying."
• Author Andrew Graham-Yooll

• "It is a lie when they said it was safe to be
  innocent. You were not safe, you could be killed
  too and if it was not you it could be a friend of
  yours. A young man in the outskirts of a
  neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, saw people burying
  corpses. He was with another friend. The friend
  mentioned this, talked to the people in this
  neighbourhood and then mysteriously he
  disappeared. The other one just kept silent, but
  he was just lucky."
• Author Vlady Kociancich

• "When I go back, after the military
  dictatorship, I go back to a place of ghosts.
  Going back to Buenos Aires now seems to me like
  visiting the dead. All the great writers I knew
  are all dead. Many of my school mates, were
  killed or tortured or went into exile, and the
  city itself has become a very bad imitation of
  Miami, full of shopping malls selling everything
  except Argentine goods."
• Author Alberto Manguel

"At first I was afraid, I couldn't control
myself. When I was left on my own, isolated... I
never cried. I thought of dying, I thought of my
son, and I asked myself if everything I was
doing was really worth it. My convictions and
ideologies were strengthened. I didn't feel
sadness, only great anger and impotence."
(Testimony of young woman tortured by repressive
agents, 1984, from Persona, Estado, Poder. Chile
1973 - 1989. CODEPU)

"(During the national protests) ... people who
were not previously selected by the perpetrators
died, they were not being searched for because
of who they were, nor was their political
militancy of any importance, neither were their
personal relationships. Those who died were
children and old people, adults and young
people, men and women, those who were
participating in the protests, and people who
were not taking part in them." (Comisin Chilena
de Derechos Humanos y Centro IDEAS. July, 1991)

Danzan solas Sting wrote this after he saw a
brief news story about women dancing the
traditional La Cueca in the streets of Chile
torn apart by the Pinochet regime. The women
were dancing in the streets with pictures of
their husbands, fathers, brothers or sons pinned
to their clothes or they were holding the
pictures and dancing with them.
