• One thought alone preoccupies the submerged mind of Empire: how not to end, how not to die, how to prolong its era. By day it pursues its enemies. It is cunning and ruthless, it sends its bloodhounds everywhere. By night it feeds on images of disaster: the sack of cities, the rape of populations, pyramids of bones, acres of desolation.

• Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.

• Al igual que el Tío Tom, allá durante la esclavitud, solía evitar que los negros se resistieran al sabueso o resistieran al Ku Klux Klan enseñándoles a amar a sus enemigos o a rezar por aquellos que los usan despectivamente, hoy Martin Luther King es sólo un Tío Tom del siglo XX o moderno o un Tío Tom religioso, que está haciendo lo mismo hoy para mantener a los negros indefensos ante el ataque que el Tío Tom hacía en la plantación para mantener a esos negros indefensos ante el ataque del Klan en aquella época.

• Pero así os aconsejo, amigos míos: Desconfiad de todos aquellos en quienes el impulso de castigar es poderoso. Son gente de baja calaña y estirpe; los verdugos y los sabuesos les miran a la cara. Desconfiad de todos los que hablan mucho de su justicia. En verdad, sus almas carecen más que de miel. Y cuando se llaman a sí mismos los buenos y los justos, no olvides que serían fariseos, si tan sólo tuvieran poder.

• How did you find me anyway." "For all that I must keep reminding you that I am not a bloodhound, it's true that on occasion, having a sensitive nose is a useful thing. I followed the smell of you."

• Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, for the people and by the people, but a government for Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street.
