2. "I always say that when a country wins with such overwhelming might, it's bad news for that country." ~ Stephane Hessel

4. "Let us not be defeated by the tyranny of the world financial markets that threaten peace and democracy everywhere." ~ Stephane Hessel
5. "I feel that I am completely in solidarity with Jews in the world, because I know what it is to be a Jew. I've seen what it is; I am myself of Jewish origin, and therefore I can only be fully in support of the idea that the Jews, after all they've suffered, need a country where they are at home." ~ Stephane Hessel
6. "I was a young boy when I met the Surrealists and the Dadaists. I admired them, and that is what they taught me: to admire. Admiration is very important. People who are unable to admire others lose an important part of their soul. My soul developed from a very early age through encounters with admired people." ~ Stephane Hessel
7. "If you want to be a real human being - a real woman, a real man - you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, 'Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action.'" ~ Stephane Hessel
8. "To create is to resist; to resist is to create." ~ Stephane Hessel
9. "For me, true and authentic democracy occurs when the privileged groups assist the unprivileged groups to become more privileged." ~ Stephane Hessel

11. "Death is something to savour, and I hope to savour mine." ~ Stephane Hessel
12. "From 1967, all the Israeli governments continued making two big mistakes: occupation and settlement in the territories." ~ Stephane Hessel

14. "L'illusion d'avoir trouvé la vérité, au mieux nous fixe là où nous sommes, au pire nous conduit à vouloir l'imposer aux autres." ~ Stéphane Hessel
15. "CREAR ES RESISTIR,RESISTIR ES CREAR"." ~ Stéphane Hessel
16. "Se atreven a decirnos que el Estado ya no puede garantizar los costes de estas medidas ciudadanas. Pero ¿cómo puede ser que actualmente no haya suficiente dinero para mantener y prolongar estas conquistas cuando la producción de riqueza ha aumentado considerablemente desde la Liberación, un periodo en el que Europa estaba en la ruina?" ~ Stéphane Hessel
17. "El pensamiento productivista, auspiciado por Occidente, ha arrastrado al mundo a una crisis de la que hay que salir a través de una ruptura radical con la escapada hacia delante del "siempre más", en el dominio financiero pero también en el de las ciencias y las técnicas. Ya es hora de que la preocupación por la ética, por la justicia, por el equilibrio duradero prevalezcan." ~ Stéphane Hessel
18. "Los medios de comunicación de masas que no proponen otro horizonte para nuestra juventud que el del consumo de masas, el desprecio hacia los más débiles y hacia la cultura, la amnesia generalizada y la competición a ultranza de todos contra todos." ~ Stéphane Hessel
19. "Uno no se debe exasperar, uno debe esperar. La exasperación es la negación de la esperanza. Es comprensible, diría que hasta es natural; sin embargo, no es aceptable porque no permite obtener los resultados que puede eventualmente producir la esperanza." ~ Stéphane Hessel
20. "Pour le voir, il faut bien regarder, chercher. Je dis aux jeunes: cherchez un peu, vous allez trouver. La pire des attitudes est l'indifférence, dire «je n'y peux rien, je me débrouille». En vous comportant ainsi, vous perdez l'une des composantes essentielles qui fait l'humain. Une des composantes indispensables: la faculté d'indignation et l'engagement qui en est la conséquence." ~ Stéphane Hessel
21. "Aux jeunes, je dis: regardez autour de vous, vous y trouverez les thèmes qui justifient votre indignation — le traitement faits aux immigrés, aux sans-papiers, aux Roms. Vous trouverez des situations concrètes qui vous amènent à donner cours à une action citoyenne forte. Cherchez et vous trouverez!" ~ Stéphane Hessel
22. "(...) Marx explique que les droits de l'homme sont les droits de l'individu séparé de l'homme (...), c'est l'égoïsme de l'homme bourgeois, qui se meut selon ses intérêts individuels, l'homme séparé de sa communauté, de son passé, de sa classe, de son pays. Selon Marx, les droits de l'homme reflètent (...) le triomphe de l'individu et de ses intérêts à court terme sur son environnement, naturel et social." ~ Stéphane Hessel
