"As Oscar Wilde said: "Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.""


"Courage is contagious."


"It does not matter how small you are as long as you have faith and a plan of action. "


You can't go far in this world by relying on people. People are loyal until it seems opportune not to be."


"You don't want ugly pictures, you should stay out of ugly wars."


"I guess everyone has secrets. Scars. Moments in time that shape them. Some we can get past. Some we can't.”


"If you want to know the truth, no one is going to tell you the truth, they're only going to tell you their version. So if you want the truth, you have to seek it out for yourself. In fact that's where the real power lies, in your willingness to look beyond this story, any story. And as long as you keep searching, you are dangerous to them. That's what they're afraid of. You. It's all about you. And a little bit about me too.”

The Fifth Estate quotes

  • Julian Assange: Man is least himself when he talks with his own person. But if you give him a mask, he will tell you the truth. Two people, and a secret: the beginning of all conspiracies. More people, and, more secrets. But if we could find one moral man, one whistle-blower. Someone willing to expose those secrets, that man can topple the most powerful and most repressive of regimes.

  • Sarah Shaw: Do you think the President of Turkmenistan will be more upset that I called him a practised liar or that I called him vain?

    James Boswell: I don't think he's worried about the opinions of a mid-level foreign attaché.

    Sarah Shaw: That's why I signed Hillary's name to it.
