“Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean."

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”

"For some reason, we were going down the wrong path and Mother Nature just said, Enough already, we’ve got to stop everything, This is going to last long enough to lead to some kind of new way of thinking.”

"I think it’s going to be much more spiritual and much kinder and it’s going to bring us all closer together in a really strong and beautiful way. It’s going to be a different world on the other side and it’s going to be a much more intelligent world."

“War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength"

"Science is not Democratic or Republican, progressive or conservative. Science is science. There are no 'alternative facts, A modern society cannot survive unless decisions are made on evidence-based research."

"I'm dead, Anna. No, no, I'm not dead. No, that's wrong. Too melodramatic. I'm not dead at all. But I live without self-respect. I know it sounds silly - pretentious - since almost all people are forced to live without self-worth. Humiliated to the core, stifled and spat upon. They just live. They know nothing more. They know no alternative. Even if they did, they would never reach for it. You understand? Can you be sick from humiliation? Is it a disease we're all infected by and we have to live with? We talk so much about freedom, Anna. Isn't freedom a terrible poison for the humiliated... or is the word "freedom" only a drug the humiliated use in order to endure. I can't live with this. I've given up. Sometimes it's almost unbearable. The days drag by. I feel like I'm choking on the food I swallow, the crap I get rid of, the words I say. The light - the daylight which comes every morning and yells at me to get up. Or the sleep which always brings dreams, chasing me back and forth. Or just the darkness rattling with ghosts and memories. Has it occurred to you, Anna, that the worse off people are, the less they complain? Eventually they're silent... even though they're living creatures with nerves, eyes and hands. Massive armies of both victims and executioners. The light which rises and sinks heavily. The cold approaches. Darkness. The heat. The smell. And everyone is silent. We can never leave this place. I don't believe in escape. It's too late. Everything's too late."

"Human beings are human beings whether they speak or not."

"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow."

"I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light."

"Estamos absolutamente emocionados e extasiados por nossos colegas terem reconhecido a urgência deste filme, e honrados por estarmos na companhia de documentários tão importantes. Numa época em que a extrema direita está se espalhando como uma epidemia, esperamos que esse filme possa nos ajudar a entender como é crucial proteger nossas democracias"

"It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have."

"Yet I also suspected that what I was seeing was but a part of the truth and perhaps not even the most important part; beneath these faces, these clothes, accents, rudenesses, was power and sorrow, both unadmitted, unrealized, the power of inventors, the sorrow of the disconnected."
