I know you're angry! (cheers) I'm angry! Let us march the streets of San Francisco and share our anger!
Milk quotes
Page 2 of 2I wish I had time to explain all the things that I did. Almost everything was done with an eye on the gay movement.
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.
My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you. I want to recruit you for the fight to preserve your democracy. Brothers and sisters, you must come out! Come out to your parents, come out to your friends, if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors, come out to your fellow workers. Once and for all, let's break down the myths and destroy the lies and distortions. For your sake, for their sake. For the sake of all the youngsters who have been scared by the votes from Dade to Eugene. On the Statue of Liberty it says, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.' In the Declaration of Independence, it is written, 'All men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.' So for Mr. Briggs and Mrs. Bryant, and all the bigots out there, no matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words from the Declaration of Independence! No matter how hard you try, you can never chip those words from the base of the Statue of Liberty! That is where America is! Love it or leave it!
Out of the bar and into the streets; Anita Bryant is coming for you!
The new Mrs. Milk. I give it a week.
This is Harvey Milk speaking- Friday, November the 18th. This is only to be played in the event of my death by assassination.
This is shit. Shit and masturbation. This is just a coward's response to a dangerous threat.
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.
We need one of our own in office.
What are you, some sort of street shrink?
Without hope, life's not worth living. So you, and you, and you... You gotta give 'em hope.
