Edward Snowden Courage

Whistleblower Journalist American Born 1983 (age 43)

"The greatest fear that I have is that the normalization of surveillance will mean we lose all privacy and, with it, our freedom of thought."

"I don't want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded."

"Privacy is not something that I'm hiding behind; privacy is something we're losing."

"Being a whistleblower has nothing to do with being a hero. It's an act of desperation."

"Never let fear stop you from chasing your dreams."

"Courage is being afraid but doing it anyway."

"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."

"Sometimes you have to be the monster to stop the monsters."
