I love my country, and it hurts not to be able to see my country, as I did for so many years. I hope that I will one day be able to live in a peaceful Colombia.

I miss Colombia. It's a great place.

I continue to aspire to serve Colombia as president.

I just want to serve Colombia.

I've been following what's happening in Colombia because it's the country of my childhood.

I continue with the illusion of serving Colombia. Only God knows if it were to be from the presidency.

I will protect all Colombians regardless of whether the attacks come from guerrillas or paramilitaries.

I love my country more than anything else.

On one hand, it seems strange that a country that has suffered so much from violence and war would be debating if they want peace or not. But in Colombia, a part of society is deeply connected with the war as a means of making a living.

As a Colombian, the only way I can relate to my country is through suffering. I hope that my children and my grandchildren will relate to the beautiful country in a way that it is positive and loving.
