From Fidel Castro: My Life: A Spoken Autobiography:

"His thoughts branch, [to him] everything is connected to everything, and the branches form long chains of links. The pursuit of a subject leads him, through an association of ideas, through the recollection of such-and-such a situation or person, to call up a parallel subject, and another, and another, and another, until we are far from the central issue – so far that the interlocutor fears, for a moment, that he's lost the thread. But Fidel retraces his steps after a while and returns to the original topic."

"He is a man of infinite curiosity, and he never stops thinking, pondering, rallying his staff of advisers. ... Ready to remake the Revolution, every day. There is nothing more alien to him than dogma, precept, rules, 'the system', revealed truth. He is the very definition of an anti-dogmatic leader. He is an innate and instinctive transgressor – subversive , anti-authoritarian – and , though it may be too obvious to say it, a rebel."

"Seeing Fidel Castro in action is inspiring - it's watching politics on the move. Always full of ideas, thinking the unthinkable, imagining the unimaginable, with a creativity that one has to call genius. In that sense, one might say that he is a political creator, as others are creators in the field of painting or music. He is incapable of having an idea that's not a Big Idea, and his mental daring is spectacular. "

"Once a project has been discussed and approved, no obstacle can stop him. As de Gaulle used to say , 'City hall will go on.' That's the way Fidel thinks, too. ... He believes passionately in what he is doing, and his enthusiasm moves others not just to believe, but to do. That must be the definition of charisma. 'It's ideas that transform the world, the way tools transform matter,' he often says ."

"As the intellectual he is, he is not afraid of debate. On the contrary, he needs it, requires it, encourages it. He is always ready to 'litigate', and with anybody. With tons of arguments. And with an impressive mastery of rhetoric. With great respect for his interlocutor, great tact. He is a fearsome arguer and polemicist - highly educated - who is put off only by bad faith and hatred."
