The attack on the truth by war begins long before war starts and continues long after a war ends.

There is nothing new in this world other than the history that you don't know yet.

Every time you go to a party ...

Every time you go to a party and take a picture and post that picture to Facebook, you're being a rat. You're being a narc.

You can't publish a paper on ...

You can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism.

My motivation for 20 years, f...

My motivation for 20 years, for 10 years with WikiLeaks, has been to publish true information that is otherwise unsayable. So we're not in competition, if you like.

Facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented. Here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their locations and the communications with each other, their relatives, all sitting within the United States, all accessible to US intelligence. Facebook, Google, Yahoo.. all these major US organizations have built-in interfaces for US intelligence. It's not a matter of serving a subpoena. They have an interface that they have developed for US intelligence to use.

And if Bradley Manning really did as he is accused, he is a hero, an example to us all and one of the world's foremost political prisoners.

If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine Washington-back ed Google Glasses strapped onto vacant human faces - forever.

Where they couldn't pick holes in our arguments they would drive horses and carriages through my character.

Every time we witness an act that we feel to be unjust and do not act, we become a party to injustice.

Now, is it the case that Facebook is actually run by U.S. intelligence? No, it's not like that. It's simply that U.S. intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure on them. And it's costly for them to hand out records one by one, so they have automated the process. Everyone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing free work for United States intelligence agencies in building this database for them.

Let us not compare Edward Snowden's situation with that of Chelsea Manning or Jeremy Hammond, who is also imprisoned in the United States. As a result of WikiLeaks' hard work, Edward Snowden has political asylum, has travel documents, lives with his girlfriend, goes to the ballet and earns substantial speaking fees. Edward Snowden is essentially free and happy. That is no coincidence. It was my strategy to undo the chilling effect of the 35 year Manning sentence and it has worked.

Secrecy breeds incompetence because where there is failure, failure is kept secret.

Those who are repeatedly passive in the face of injustice soon find their character corroded.

Julian Assange 176 quotes

It really is my opinion that ...

It really is my opinion that media in general are so bad that we have to question whether the world wouldn't be better off without them altogether. They are so distortive to how the world actually is that the result is.. we see wars, and we see corrupt governments continue on.

The aim of Wikileaks is to achieve just reform around the world and do it through the mechanism of transparency.

Julian Assange 176 quotes

People love WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption in their opponents. People oppose WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption or dangerous behavior in themselves.

Julian Assange 176 quotes

I mean, there's enormous pressures to harmonize freedom of speech legislation and transparency legislation around the world - within the E.U., between China and the United States. Which way is it going to go? It's hard to see.

Julian Assange 176 quotes

You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.
