More quotes by Whittaker Chambers
In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.
Whittaker Chambers
The satellite revolt was not sparked from the West. It was sparked by Communism itself.
Whittaker Chambers
In 1937, I began, like Lazarus, the impossible return.
Whittaker Chambers
A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.
Whittaker Chambers
Life is not worth living for which a man is not prepared to die at any moment.
Whittaker Chambers
For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed.
Whittaker Chambers
Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself.
Whittaker Chambers
The crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.
Whittaker Chambers
Anybody looking for a quiet life has picked the wrong century to born in.
Whittaker Chambers

Whittaker Chambers

Whittaker Chambers

Whittaker Chambers
Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.
Whittaker Chambers
A Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites-God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.
Whittaker Chambers
On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.
Whittaker Chambers
The rub is that the pursuit of happiness, as an end in itself, tends automatically, and widely, to be replaced by the pursuit of pleasure with a consequent general softening of the fibers of will, intelligence, spirit.
Whittaker Chambers
Man without mysticism is a monster.
Whittaker Chambers
Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence.
Whittaker Chambers
The Communist vision is the vision of man without God.
Whittaker Chambers
