Harvey Milk (2008)

Partager la citation sur facebook This is Harvey Milk speaking- Friday, November the 18th. This is only to be played in the event of my death by assassination.

Partager la citation sur facebook I fully realize that someone who stands for what I stand for... an activist, a gay activist... makes themself a target for someone who is insecure, frightened, terrified, and disturbed themselves. It's a very real possibility you see because — in San Francisco... we have broken the dam of major prejudice in this country.

Partager la citation sur facebook I wish I had time to explain all the things that I did. Almost everything was done with an eye on the gay movement.

Partager la citation sur facebook Forty years old — and I haven't done a thing that I'm proud of.

Partager la citation sur facebook We need one of our own in office.

Partager la citation sur facebook I'm not the candidate. I'm part of a movement. The movement is the candidate - there is a difference. You don't see it. I do.

Partager la citation sur facebook How do you "teach" homosexuality? Is it like French?

Partager la citation sur facebook (on his new look) I'm not gonna let those Pacific Heights biddies write me off because of a ponytail. And I like it. No more pot, no more bathhouses for me and my little poo.

Partager la citation sur facebook I don't think state assembly seats should be the reward for service to the Democratic Party machine. Machines run on oil and grease. They're dirty, they're dehumanizing, and they tend to be entirely unresponsive to the needs of anybody but those of their operator.

Partager la citation sur facebook I don't want to see another sign that says fucking "Machine" on it because this three-time "faggot loser" is running for Supervisor.

Partager la citation sur facebook I know you're angry! (cheers) I'm angry! Let us march the streets of San Francisco and share our anger!

Partager la citation sur facebook (to Cleve) March them right up to the steps of City Hall. When things start to look really bad- the city's first gay supervisor... will come out and play peacemaker. Do it with me. (Gives Cleve the bullhorn)

Partager la citation sur facebook This is shit. Shit and masturbation. This is just a coward's response to a dangerous threat.

Partager la citation sur facebook Tonight, it's become clear to everyone out there that they do know one of us, and now that they do, they can see that we are not sick. They can feel that we are not wrong. And they know that there must be, that there should be a place for us in this great country, in this world. A message of hope has been sent to all those young people, to all of those who have been afraid by this wave of hate, to all of those who have lost their homes, lost their hometowns. Tonight, we are clear that there is a place for us! My brothers and sisters, we can come home again.

Partager la citation sur facebook Without hope, life's not worth living. So you, and you, and you... You gotta give 'em hope.

Partager la citation sur facebook (after first meeting Harvey) Not interested, old man.

Partager la citation sur facebook What are you, some sort of street shrink?

Partager la citation sur facebook Fuck that. Elections of any kind are nothing more than a fucking bourgeois affectation.

Partager la citation sur facebook At least now you look gay.

Partager la citation sur facebook Out of the bar and into the streets; Anita Bryant is coming for you!

Partager la citation sur facebook Scott Smith: Are you on uppers or something?
Harvey Milk: No, this is just plain old me.

John Briggs: It's time to root them out.
Tom Ammiano: How are you going to determine who is homosexual?
John Briggs: My bill outlines procedures for identifying homosexuals.
Tom Ammiano: How? Will you be sucking them off?

Partager la citation sur facebook Dan White: You have an issue.
Harvey Milk: It's more than just an issue. This is our lives we're fighting for.

Partager la citation sur facebook His life changed history. His courage changed lives.
