I know that I am leaving the winning side for the losing side, but it is better to die on the losing side than to live under Communism.

Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself.

Trotsky was essentially a Western mind. Lenin was a Russian, and unlike most other revolutionary exiles, wherever he went he was a Russian.

I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.

Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence.

A man is not primarily a witness against something. That is only incidental to the fact that he is a witness for something.

It is in fact no exaggeration to say that we live in terror that Senator McCarthy will one day make some irreparable blunder that will play directly into the hands of our common enemy and discredit the whole anti-Communist effort for a long while to come.
