One of his last posts: "God forbid I didn't give up, but they are hard days" From a different post: "Today I have gone my way, following the path of the noble, drawing my glory and honor from you, O blade of the sword. I have embraced death out of love, and departed today out of longing. If only I had a thousand souls, all of them ascending to God, all of them ascending to God. Stop your tears, O mother, and rejoice, for today is a holiday. Do not say I am dead, for I am alive and happy in the heavens. Be patient, O mother, after me, and be proud that I am the martyr. Be patient, O mother, after me, and be proud that I am the martyr. O mother, I am proceeding toward the gardens of eternity. It is the habit of the free man always, when he passes, he does not return. He who truly desires immortality truly gives his blood. He truly gives his blood."
