It is essential that you know that in your heart, and you will survive this day as you have so many in the past. You can get through this. I believe in the power of you.”

“Vous devez comprendre. Je n'ai rien d'extraordinaire. Je ne suis qu'une fille quelconque. Je mesure à peine un mètre soixante et je ne possède aucune qualité remarquable. Mais j'ai un secret. Érigez des murs jusqu'au ciel et je trouverai le moyen de m'envoler pour les franchir. Essayez de m'immobiliser avec cent mille bras et je trouverai le moyen de résister. Et je ne suis pas la seule. Nous sommes plus nombreux que vous le pensez. A refuser d'abandonner tout espoir. A refuser de garder les pieds sur terre. A aimer dans un monde sans murs, a aimer jusque dans la haine, a aimer lorsque les espoirs sont perdus, a aimer sans peur. Je t'aime. Souviens-toi. Ils ne peuvent pas nous enlever ça.”

“I am not one who, to quote an American author, believes that democracy and enterprise have finally won the battle of ideas - that we have therefore arrived at the end of history, and there is nothing left to fight for. That would be unutterably complacent, indeed foolish. There will always be threats to freedom, not only from frontal assaults, but more insidiously by erosion from within.”

“I wish that one would be persuaded that psychological experiments, especially those on the complex functions, are not improved [by large studies]; the statistical method gives only mediocre results; some recent examples demonstrate that. The American authors, who love to do things big, often publish experiments that have been conducted on hundreds and thousands of people; they instinctively obey the prejudice that the persuasiveness of a work is proportional to the number of observations. This is only an illusion.”

“I liked reading and working out my ideas in the midst of that endless crowd walking in and out of the (library) looking for something. I, too, was seeking fame and fortune by sitting at the end of a long golden table next to the sets of American authors on the open shelves.”
