“The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe...no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent...For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence鈥搊n infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

“Two Leningrad women were summoned to the police station. Had they been at a party with some men? Yes. Had sexual intercourse taken place? (This had already been established with the aid of a reliable informer.) Er鈥攜es. Right, then, which is it: did you take part in the sexual act voluntarily or against your will? If voluntarily, we shall have to regard you as prostitutes, you will hand over your passports and get out of Leningrad in forty-eight hours. If it was against your will, you must bring a charge of rape! The women were not a bit anxious to leave Leningrad! So the men got twelve years each.”

“脰yle san谋yorum ki, sorular 眉zerinde d眉艧眉nebilmem i莽in bana yeterince uzun zaman b谋rakt谋n谋z, kar艧谋 莽谋k谋c谋 bir tav谋r almama yetecek uzunlukta bir zaman.
"Siz, S枚zc眉kler"i (Ihr Worte) yazd谋臒谋mda, art谋k 艧iir yazmaya cesaret edemeyeli be艧 y谋l olmu艧tu, art谋k tek bir 艧iir bile yazmak istemiyordum, ad谋na 艧iir denen yarat谋dan bir daha kaleme almay谋 kendime yasaklam谋艧t谋m. 艦iirlere bir d眉艧manl谋臒谋m yok elbet, ama 艧unu d眉艧眉nmelisiniz ki, insan ans谋z谋n her 艧eye kar艧谋 莽谋kabilir, her metafora, her t谋n谋ya, s枚zc眉kleri bir araya getirmeye ili艧kin her t眉rl眉 zorlamaya, s枚zc眉klerle g枚r眉nt眉lerin bu mutlak anlamda mutlu birlikteli臒ine kar艧谋 莽谋kabilir. 陌nsan bunun ne oldu臒unu, ne olmas谋 gerekti臒ini bir kez daha denetlemek i莽in, bu birlikteli臒i bo臒mak isteyebilir.
艦iirler 眉zerine bildiklerim h芒l芒 az, ama bildi臒im az 艧eyler aras谋nda ku艧ku denen 艧ey de var. Kendinden yeterince ku艧kulanmal谋s谋n, s枚zc眉klerden ku艧kulanmal谋s谋n, demi艧imdir kendime s谋k s谋k, dilden ku艧kulan, bu ku艧kuyu derinle艧tir -derinle艧tir ki, g眉n眉n birinde belki yeni bir 艧ey ortaya 莽谋kabilsin- ya da art谋k hi莽bir 艧ey 莽谋kmas谋n.”

“the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe鈥搕he belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.”
