It taught me that . . . there can be no true humility and no true compassion where there is no courage.

The chief fruit of the First World War was the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism as a national power.

The Communist vision is the vision of man without God.

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.

Every sincere break with Communism is a religious experience, though the Communists fail to identify its true nature, though he fail to go to the end of the experience. His break is the political expression of the perpetual need of the soul whose first faint stirring he has felt within him, years, months or days before he breaks. A Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites — God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.

A man is not primarily a witness against something. That is only incidental to the fact that he is a witness for something.
