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

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.

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

In 1937, I began, like Lazarus, the impossible return.

A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.

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

At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society, which we call Western civilization, could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good, including life, to defend it.
