Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party - though they are quite numerous - is no freedom at all.

We stand todaybefore the awful proposition: either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; or, the victory of socialism.

The victory of socialism will not descend like fate from heaven.

We will be victorious if we have not forgotten how to learn.

Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters.

Only to the rude ear of one who is quite indifferent does the song of a bird seem always the same.

The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.
