As a young kid, I spent a lot of time exploring the world around me.

I want people to see the truth... regardless of who they are... because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public.

I prefer a painful truth over any blissful fantasy.

I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible.

Sometimes You Have to Pay a Heavy Price to Live in a Free Society

I think we can achieve meaningful change, but only if we demand that the institutions themselves change their behavior.

Even if I didn't have the support that I have, I would still be fighting the same fights, and I would still be the same person that I am today.

Anxiety, depression, and suicide don't discriminate based on how much money you have - though it might make it easier for you to get help.

I don't think that I'm embracing any kind of leadership for transparency or trans advocacy.

I can feel no sentiment of approbation inferior to love.

They were both sad that their love had died, but they agreed that there was nothing they could do about it. They would just have to part.

I probably shouldn't treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don't keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I'm at and letting it all out.

History has to move in a certain direction, even if it has to be pushed that way by neurotics.

The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.

Chemistry, in its application to animals and vegetables. Endeavours jointly with physiology to enlighten us respecting the mysterious processes and sources of organic life.

Television is so much about continuing to work with people.

I was going to be lynched. I had to go into hiding in the mountains for two weeks.

I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man.
