• Nunca existió, nunca existirá y nunca podrá existir un parlamento, o cualquier descripción de hombres, o cualquier generación de hombres, en cualquier país, que posea el derecho o el poder de obligar y controlar a la posteridad hasta el "fin de los tiempos", o de ordenar para siempre cómo debe ser gobernado el mundo, o quién debe gobernarlo. Cada época y generación debe ser tan libre de actuar por sí misma, en todos los casos, como las épocas y generaciones que la precedieron.

• I mean not to accuse any one, but to take the shame upon myself, in common, indeed, with the whole parliament of Great Britain, for having suffered this horrid trade to be carried on under their authority.

• My grandfather was a member of Parliament for 40 years. Obviously we're talking here South Africa, a whites only parliament. I grew up in a family that was very involved with the legal battles against apartheid—the great treason trials in the 1950s and early '60s, and later with the legal resources center that my mother founded. My father was involved with a number of very prominent cases that had political aspects to them, whether it was the inquest into the Sharpeville Massacre, the death of Steve Biko, or one of the trials of Nelson Mandela.

Aunque nací más tarde que para conocer los días en que floreció vuestro padre, por vos, Señora, me parece verle aún vivo; Tan bien alaban vuestras palabras sus nobles virtudes, Que todos juzgan que las relatáis verdaderas, Y que las poseéis, honorable Margarita.

• Los fascistas están floreciendo políticamente en Francia e Italia, y ahora llega el asesinato de Pim Fortuyn, un político populista que podría haberlo hecho lo suficientemente bien en las próximas elecciones holandesas como para mantener el equilibrio de poder en el parlamento de ese país. Pero es la difamación generalizada de los judíos lo que mejor revela que los europeos son evidentemente incapaces de aprender de su historia. Francia se lleva la palma en antisemitismo.
