Text Quotes
The Communist vision is the vision of man without God  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Political freedom is a political reading of the Bible  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Conservatism is alien to the very nature of capitalism  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) The chief fruit of the First World War was the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism as a national power.  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) 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 Quotes) It is in fact no exaggeration to say that we live in terror that Senator McCarthy will one day make some irreparable blunder that will play directly into the hands of our common enemy and discredit the whole anti-Communist effort for a long while to come.  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Crime, violence, infamy are not tragedy. Tragedy occurs when a human soul awakes and seeks, in suffering and pain, to free itself from crime, violence, infamy, even at the cost of life. The struggle is the tragedy - not defeat or death. That is why the spectacle of tragedy has always filled men, not with despair, but with a sense of hope and exaltation  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) Tragedy occurs when a human soul awakes and seeks, in suffering and pain, to free itself from crime, violence, infamy, even at the cost of life. The struggle is the tragedy - not defeat or death  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) The chief fruit of the First World War was the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism as a national power  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) 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 Quotes) I do not know any way to explain why God’s grace touches a man who seems unworthy of it  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) A man is not primarily a witness against something  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Anybody looking for a quiet life has picked the wrong century to born in  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Every man is crucified upon the cross of himself  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) A nation’s life is about as long as its reverential memory  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure because it is necessary  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) All children are afraid of the night; when they grow up, they are still afraid, but more afraid of admitting it  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) Life is not worth living for which a man is not prepared to die at any moment  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) A man is not primarily a witness against something. That is only incidental to the fact that he is a witness for something  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) At issue was the question whether this man's faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving, and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another  (Whittaker Chambers Quotes) 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 Quotes)
