“Behold the power of the truth. When people see its shadow on the wall, they don't want to take the time to look away.”

“It didn't start out like this, Georgia. It started out with good intentions--God, such good intentions. They thought they were taking steps to protect the country. In the end, no one noticed when protection turned into imprisonment, or when 'for the good of the people' turned into 'for the good of the people in power.' It was all baby steps, all the way.”

“The difference between the truth and a lie is that both of them can hurt, but only one will take the time to heal you afterward.”

“The problem with people who have power is that they start thinking more about what it takes to keep that power than they do about what's right or wrong or just plain a bad idea.”

“In the end, no one noticed when protection turned into imprisonment, or when 'for the good of the people' turned into 'for the good of the people in power.' It was all baby steps, all the way.”

“The people who have the power want you scared. They want you walking around paralyzed by the notion that you could die at any moment.”

“The dangerous thing about truth is the way it changes depending on how you're looking at it. One man's gospel truth is another man's blasphemous lie. The dangerous thing about people is the way we'll try to kill anyone whose truth doesn't agree with ours.”
