• I shall not rest quiet in Montparnasse.
  I shall not lie easy at Winchelsea.
  You may bury my body in Sussex grass,
  You may bury my tongue at Champmedy.
  I shall not be there. I shall rise and pass.
  Bury my heart at Wounded Knee

• I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream.

• Lo que hicimos en los años sesenta y principios de los setenta fue concienciar a la América blanca de que este gobierno tiene una responsabilidad con los pueblos indios. Que existen tratados; que los libros de texto de todas las escuelas de Estados Unidos tienen la responsabilidad de decir la verdad. Se extendió por toda América la conciencia de que si los nativos americanos tenían que recurrir a las armas en Wounded Knee, es que realmente algo iba mal. Y los estadounidenses se dieron cuenta de que los nativos siguen aquí, que tienen una posición moral, una posición legal. A partir de ahí, nuestra propia gente empezó a sentir el orgullo.

• MR. KHARIS: 'Does Mr. Celine seriously suggest that the United States Government is in need of a guardian?' MR. CELINE: 'I am merely offering a way out for your client. Any private individual with a record of such incessant murder and robbery would be glad to cop an insanity plea. Do you insist that your client was in full possession of its reason at Wounded Knee? At Hiroshima? At Dresden?' JUSTICE IMMHOTEP: 'You become facetious, Mr. Celine.' MR. CELINE: 'I have never been more serious.
