More quotes by 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
In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.
Whittaker Chambers
Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.
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
Anybody looking for a quiet life has picked the wrong century to born in.
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
The chief fruit of the First World War was the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism as a national power.
Whittaker Chambers
I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.
Whittaker Chambers
Trotsky was essentially a Western mind. Lenin was a Russian, and unlike most other revolutionary exiles, wherever he went he was a Russian.
Whittaker Chambers
Political freedom, as the Western world has known it, is only a political reading of the Bible.
Whittaker Chambers
I know that I am leaving the winning side for the losing side, but it is better to die on the losing side than to live under Communism.
Whittaker Chambers
True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.
Whittaker Chambers
On a scale personal enough to be felt by all, but big enough to be symbolic, the two irreconcilable faiths of our time - Communism and Freedom - came to grips in the persons of two conscious and resolute men.
Whittaker Chambers
The crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.
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
[It is b]etter to die on the losing side than to live under communisim.
Whittaker Chambers
At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society, which we call Western civilization, could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good, including life, to defend it.
Whittaker Chambers
In 1937, I began, like Lazarus, the impossible return.

A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory
