„Domýšlivost je pro novináře jako parfém pro děvku. Jeden i druhý je používají proto, aby nesmrděli.“

— Julian Assange

O děvkách

„Seeing ongoing political reforms that have a real impact on people all over the world is extremely satisfying. But we want every person who's having a dispute with their kindergarten to feel confident about sending us material.“

— Julian Assange

„This is not justice; never could this be justice, the verdict was ordained long ago. Its function is not to determine questions such as guilt or innocence, or truth or falsehood. It is a public relations exercise, designed to provide the government with an alibi for posterity. It is a show of wasteful vengeance; a theatrical warning to people of conscience.“

— Julian Assange
Regarding the [Bradley Manning] trial.

„The goal is justice, the method is transparency. It's important not to confuse the goal and the method.“

— Julian Assange

„That’s arguably what spy agencies do — high-tech investigative journalism. It’s time that the media upgraded its capabilities along those lines.“

„I may be a chauvinist pig of some sort, but I'm no rapist.“

— Julian Assange
Of allegations of sexual assault

„There is a view that one should never be permitted to be criticized for being even possibly in the future engaged in a contributory act that might be immoral, and that that type of arse-covering is more important than actually saving people's lives. That it is better to let a thousand people die than risk going to save them and possibly running over someone on the way. And that is something that I find to be philosophically repugnant.“

— Julian Assange

„Our No. 1 enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the No. 1 enemy for everyone — it's not understanding what actually is going on in the world.“

— Julian Assange

„Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism.“

— Julian Assange

„The final nail in the coffin was that I went to the hundredth anniversary of physics at the ANU. There were some 1500 visitors there - four Nobel prize winners - and every goddamn one of them was carting around, on their backs, a backpack given to them by the Defence Science Technology Organisation. At least it was an Australian defence science organisation. And there was just something about their attire, and the way they moved their bodies, and of course the bags on their backs didn't help much either. I couldn't respect them as men.“

— Julian Assange

„The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be "free" because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments. Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like badgers and birds, free.“

— Julian Assange

„Vanity in a newspaper man is like perfume on a whore; they use it to fend off a dark whiff of themselves.“

— Julian Assange

„It is impossible to correct abuses unless we know that they’re going on.“

— Julian Assange
