Why Independence? If The Slaves Of Today

Genius Has No Country. It Blossoms Everywhere. Genius Is Like The Light, The Air. It Is The Heritage Of All.

I Believe In Revelation, But Not In Revelation Which Each Religion Claims To Possess, But In The Living Revelation Which Surrounds Us On Every Side - Mighty, Eternal, Unceasing, Incorruptible, Clear, Distinct, Universal As Is The Being From Whom It Proceeds, In That Revelation Which Speaks To Us And Penetrates Us From The Moment We Are Born Until We Die.

For Myself I Think That One Wrong Does Not Right The Other, And Forgiveness Cannot Be Won With Useless Tears Or Alms To The Church.

Tomorrow At 7, I Shall Be Shot; But I Am Innocent Of The Crime Of Rebellion. I Am Going To Die With A Tranquil Conscience.

I Go Where There Are No Slaves, Hangmen Or Oppressors; Where Faith Does Not Kill; Where The One Who Reigns Is God.
