WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars and broken stories about corporate corruption.

Being editor of WikiLeaks was always a pretty difficult job.

Bitcoin actually has the balance and incentives right, and that is why it is starting to take off.

It really is my opinion that media in general are so bad that we have to question whether the world wouldn't be better off without them altogether. They are so distortive to how the world actually is that the result is.. we see wars, and we see corrupt governments continue on.

We don't have sources who are dissidents on other sources. Should they come forward, that would be a tricky situation for us, but we're presumably acting in such a way that people feel morally compelled to continue our mission, not to screw it up.

In the justice system, we say there must be open justice where there is to be justice. The judged while trying must themselves be tried before the public.

Even the U.S. government agrees that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIL, or ISIS.

So when Putin goes out to buy a Coke, thirty seconds later it is known in Washington DC.

The West has political prisoners.

Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism.

I found in investigative journalism it is always best, if you have any language skills, not to admit them.

The internet, our greatest tool of emancipation, has been transformed into the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever seen. The internet is a threat to human civilization.

If we can only live once, let it be a daring adventure.

Reality is an aspect of property. It must be seized. And investigative journalism is the noble art of seizing reality back from the powerful.

Big Brother is home. He is installed in the item you just dragged home from the Apple store.

The aim of Wikileaks is to achieve just reform around the world and do it through the mechanism of transparency.

My motivation for 20 years, for 10 years with WikiLeaks, has been to publish true information that is otherwise unsayable. So we're not in competition, if you like.

These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them.

That is my temperament. I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards.

Journalists always like an excuse for why are they talking about something now when they didn't talk about something a week ago. They always like to say something is new.
