"Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters……" — Whittaker Chambers

"Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence."

— Whittaker Chambers
