“Hungary conquered and in chains has done more for freedom and justice than any people…we have only one way of being true to Hungary, and that is never to betray, among ourselves and everywhere, what the Hungarian heroes died for”
Albert Camus

“If ten or so Hungarian writers had been shot at the right moment, the revolution would never have occurred.”
Nikita Khrushchev

“Those Hungarian students and workers and women and fighting children have done more to close the future of Communism than armies of diplomats. They have exposed the brutal hypocrisy of Communism…they have torn its mask off…We owe them pride and praise. For their defeat has been itself a triumph.”
Archibald MacLeish
