Top 10 Bianca Jagger Quotes

  1. In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.
  2. The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power.
  3. I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.
  4. I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral.

  9. I don't need an overpowering, powerful, rich man to feel secure. I'd much rather have a man who is there for me, who really loves me, who is growing, who is real.
  10. I feel great identification with the developing world.
