Julian Assange quotes about
world this-world nothing-new
There is nothing new in this world other than the history that you don't know yet.
lying fighting
Power factions fight back with lies.
adventure daring ifs
If we can only live once, let it be a daring adventure.
doe wikileaks censorship
What does censorship reveal? It reveals fear.
over-you ignorant rulers
You can either be informed and your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you.
adversity loss conflict
While many of the established media make losses or go bankrupt, WikiLeaks has survived a major conflict with a superpower, including an unlawful economic blockade by its banks and credit card companies and the detention of its editor. We have no debts. We have not had to fire staff. We have never lost a court case related to our publishing. We have never been forced to censor. Adversity has hardened us.
secret way
The only way to keep a secret is to never have one.
crush meaningful people
We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying. This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying... I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards.
men years zuckerberg
What are the differences between Mark Zuckerberg and me? I give private information on corporations to you for free, and I'm a villain. Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money and he’s Man of the Year.
Liberal papers are not necessarily liberal.
lying ignorance decision
You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.
character injustice ability
Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love.
girlfriend hard-work political
Let us not compare Edward Snowden's situation with that of Chelsea Manning or Jeremy Hammond, who is also imprisoned in the United States. As a result of WikiLeaks' hard work, Edward Snowden has political asylum, has travel documents, lives with his girlfriend, goes to the ballet and earns substantial speaking fees. Edward Snowden is essentially free and happy. That is no coincidence. It was my strategy to undo the chilling effect of the 35 year Manning sentence and it has worked.
