More quotes by Whittaker Chambers
The crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.
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
... my century.. is unique in the history of men for two reasons. It is the first century since life began when a decisive part of the most articulate section of mankind has not merely ceased to believe in God, but has deliberately rejected God. And it is the century in which this religious rejection has taken a specifically political form.
Whittaker Chambers
Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself.
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
In 1937, I began, like Lazarus, the impossible return.
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
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
The satellite revolt was not sparked from the West. It was sparked by Communism itself.
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
I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.
Whittaker Chambers
A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory
Whittaker Chambers
Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.
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
My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father - dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Whittaker Chambers
Life is not worth living for which a man is not prepared to die at any moment.
Whittaker Chambers
Innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does.
Whittaker Chambers
I do not know any way to explain why God's grace touches a man who seems unworthy of it.
Whittaker Chambers
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.
Whittaker Chambers
A Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites-God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.
