Men who sincerely abhorred the word Communism in the pursuit of common ends found that they were unable to distinguish Communists from themselves…. For men who could not see that what they firmly believed was liberalism added up to socialism could scarcely be expected to see what added up to Communism. Any charge of Communism enraged them precisely because they could not grasp the differences between themselves and those against whom it was made.

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

The satellite revolt was not sparked from the West. It was sparked by Communism itself.

Political freedom, as the Western world has known it, is only a political reading of the Bible.

True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.

For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed.

Anybody looking for a quiet life has picked the wrong century to born in.
