From a letter appearing in Penúltimos Días titled "Bravado and Silence: Cuban artists and being apolitical," Cuban American artist Geandy Pavón (AKA Nemesis) on the Castro dictatorship's "apolitical artists" (my translation):

"It is paradoxical this bravado with which some of our artists defend their right to be cowards, reproaching the free press for a simple question while without questioning themselves they assume a silence and a neutrality imposed by a government who before demanded militancy and now silence. In short, what these artists are asking for is their right to indignity."
