Julian Assange
[The rhetoric] is trying to avoid [the truth that ] the U.N. formally found that the whole thing is illegal, never even mentioning that Ecuador made a formal assessment through its formal processes and found that yes, I am subject to persecution by the United States.
Julian Assange
Even the U.S. government agrees that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIL, or ISIS.

Julian Assange
The greater the power, the more need there is for transparency, because if the power is abused, the result can be so enormous. On the other hand, those people who do not have power, we mustn't reduce their power even more by making them yet more transparent.
Julian Assange
Hillary Clinton represents a whole network of people and a network of relationships with particular states.
Julian Assange
Those who are repeatedly passive in the face of injustice soon find their character corroded.
Julian Assange
You can't do anything sensible until you know what the situation is that you're in.
Julian Assange
Although I still write, research and investigate, my role is primarily that of a publisher and editor-in-chief who organises and directs other journalists.
Julian Assange
When it comes to the point where you occasionally look forward to being in prison on the basis that you might be able to spend a day reading a book, the realisation dawns that perhaps the situation has become a little more stressful than you would like.
Julian Assange
Media is a big problem around the world, it's powerful and can abuse its power.
Julian Assange
To be alive as a human being is to know, in the same way as it is to have a heart that beats.
Julian Assange
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
Julian Assange
Through the confessional system the Catholic church spied upon the lives of its congregants. While Latin mass excluded most people who could not speak Latin from an understanding of the very system of thought that bound them.
