No, those ears were not created by any chance coming together of atoms in nature (the Communist view). They could have been created only by immense design.

More quotes by Whittaker Chambers
[It is b]etter to die on the losing side than to live under communisim.
Whittaker Chambers
The crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.
Whittaker Chambers
In 1937, I began, like Lazarus, the impossible return.
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
True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.
Whittaker Chambers
When you understand what you see, you will no longer be children. You will know that life is pain, that each of us hangs always upon the cross of himself. And when you know that this is true of every man, woman and child on earth, you will be wiser.
Whittaker Chambers
Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself.
Whittaker Chambers
In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.
Whittaker Chambers
Man without mysticism is a monster.
Whittaker Chambers
It is popular to call it a crisis of the Western world. It is in fact a crisis of the whole world. Communism, which claims to be a solution of the crisis, is itself a symptom and an irritant of the crisis.
Whittaker Chambers
I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.
Whittaker Chambers
The satellite revolt was not sparked from the West. It was sparked by Communism itself.
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
The Communist vision is the vision of man without God.
Whittaker Chambers
Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.
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
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
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.
