• I would like to address the peoples of the world, especially the Arab peoples and the US people. Their silence over the violations against the oppressed Iraqi people who suffered greatly cannot be accepted by any fair-minded and zealous person. Therefore, all must take these violations seriously and express themselves even through peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins and protests. I urge those people to distance themselves from their rulers who support the West and the occupation forces.

• No guarantees come with children's liberation. But neither the promise of great benefits to all nor the prediction of great difficulties ahead can serve as the reason for granting or denying rights to children. Rights will be granted because without them children are incapacitated, oppressed, and abused.

• ¿Es una daga lo que veo ante mí,
  ¿La empuñadura hacia mi mano? Ven, déjame agarrarte.
  No te tengo, y aún así te veo.
  ¿No eres tú, visión fatal, sensible
  al sentimiento como a la vista? ¿O no eres más que
  una daga de la mente, una falsa creación,
  que procede del cerebro oprimido por el calor?

• La vida y las palabras de Jesús son un desafío al mismo tiempo que una Buena Noticia. Son un desafío para los que somos pobres y oprimidos. Con su vida nos llama a darnos a los demás, a sacrificarnos por los que sufren, a compartir nuestras vidas con nuestros hermanos y hermanas que también están oprimidos. Nos llama a "tener hambre y sed de justicia" del mismo modo que tenemos hambre y sed de comida y agua: es decir, poniendo en práctica nuestro anhelo.

  César Chávez

• Al identificarse con los poderosos, los desempoderados logran cierta seguridad, al menos por un momento. Al cumplir las órdenes de los poderosos, se convierten en una parte necesaria del sistema, útil mientras sirva para contener las agitaciones y luchas de los oprimidos. Al hacer suyas las normas y valores de su opresor, se separan del resto de su grupo y, al menos temporalmente, mitigan el dolor de su condición de estigmatizados.

• People are always shocked to hear I'm an athlete by profession and even more shocked when they hear I'm a fencer from the United States.

It's amazing how many assumptions people make, but I embrace the opportunity to use this Olympic platform to educate.

• Creo que durante la Guerra Fría, al menos en Estados Unidos, existía una división: estaba el gobierno soviético y estaba el pueblo oprimido, que no estaba representado por ese gobierno. Era una simplificación excesiva de la situación real. Ciertamente había mucha gente que estaba completa y totalmente alienada del gobierno.

• This is called 'the land of the free and the home of the brave'; it is called the 'asylum of the oppressed,' and some have been foolish enough to call it the 'Cradle of Liberty.' If it is the 'Cradle of Liberty,' they have rocked the child to death.

• Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.

• This oppressor/oppressed cultural Marxist thing is you're an authentic woman and an authentic black even only if you support liberal causes. If you are a woman, if you are a Hispanic, if you are black, and you abide by a value system that believes in limited government and constitutional principles, you are an apostate to the utopian ideals of the left, and you are not protected, and you are pilloried, and that is why I became a conservative because I thought it was fundamentally unfair, fundamentally un-American.

• Liberals in blue states just think that when they look in the mirror and say to themselves "I'm for the environment, I'm for the children, I'm for the gay people, I'm against war," it pits automatically, and the oppressor/oppressed leftist mindset that anyone that would disagree with them isn't conservative, they're crazy. They're Nazis, they're facists, they're evil.

• The working classes may be injuriously degraded and oppressed in three ways:
  1st - When they are neglected in infancy
  
  2nd - When they are overworked by their employer, and are thus rendered incompetent from ignorance to make a good use of high wages when they can procure them.
  
  3rd - When they are paid low wages for their labour.
