Quote

I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!

I'll continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if it's difficult.

My actions will speak louder than words.

I will get to the truth, if not in Ukrainian courts, then in international ones. I will fight to my last breath. They want to put me in prison but that won't help. My voice will be heard even louder from prison than now, and the whole world will hear me.

Let Justice, blind and halt and maimed, chastise the rebel spirit surging in my veins, let the Law deal me penalties and pains And make me hideous in my neighbours' eyes.

With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.

Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.

I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

To confer dignity, forgive. To express contempt, forget.

Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.
