«Despite the fact that we are physically here, we are freer than everyone sitting across from us. We can say anything we want!»

– Nadeschda Andrejewna Tolokonnikowa, member of Pussy Riot


Extract out of the full quote by Nadia:

“By and large, the three members of Pussy Riot are not the ones on trial here. If we were, this event would hardly be so significant. This is a trial of the entire political system of the Russian Federation... Despite the fact that we are physically here, we are freer than everyone sitting across from us on the side of the prosecution. We can say anything we want and we say everything we want... So, open all the doors, tear off your epaulets; Come, taste freedom with us.”

Read the original article in Forbes.
«[Wikileaks] could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act.»

– Time Magazine

«One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors»

– Plato
«Nobody is free until Leonard Peltier is free – Niemand ist frei, solange Leonard Peltier nicht frei ist!»

«To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us. To heal means that we will begin to look upon one another with respect and tolerance instead of prejudice, distrust and hatred. We will have to teach our children-as well as ourselves-to love the diversity of humanity....We can do it. Yes, you and I and all of us together. Now is the time. Now is the only possible time. Let the Great Healing begin.»
