• When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow. —Veronica Franco 1546-1591

• Don't forget that we lawyers, we're a higher breed of intellect, and so it's our privilege to lie. It's as clear as day. Animals can't even imagine lying: if you were to find yourself among some wild islanders, they too would only speak the truth until they learned about European culture.

• Don't let anyone tell you that the truth can't disappear. If I believe in anything, rather than God, is that I am part of something that goes all the way back to Antigone, and that whatever speaks the truth of our hearts can only make us stronger. Can only give us the power to counter the hate and bigotry and heal this addled world. Just remember: You are not alone.

• Sometimes you hear a person speak the truth and you know that they are speaking the truth. But you also know that they have not heard themselves, do not know what they have said: do not know that they have revealed much more than they have said. This may be why the truth remains, on the whole, so rare.

  James A. Baldwin

• Much as we wish, not one of us can bring back yesterday or shape tomorrow. Only today is ours, and it will not be ours for long, and once it is gone it will never in all time be ours again. Thou only knowest what it holds in store for us, yet even we know something of what it will hold. The chance to speak the truth, to show mercy, to ease another’s burden. The chance to resist evil, to remember all the good times and good people of our past, to be brave, to be strong, to be glad.

• Cada uno de los aristocráticos conspiradores y aspirantes a asesinos afirma ser un archipatriota; cada uno de ellos insiste en que la guerra se libra para que el mundo sea seguro para la democracia. ¡Qué patraña! ¡Qué podredumbre! ¡Qué falsa pretensión! Estos... tiranos, estos ladrones y asesinos con las manos en la masa, son los "patriotas", mientras que los hombres que tienen el valor de enfrentarse cara a cara con ellos, decir la verdad y luchar por sus víctimas explotadas, son [llamados] desleales y traidores. Si esto es cierto, quiero ocupar mi lugar al lado de los traidores en esta lucha.

  Eugene V. Debs
