More quotes by Bartolomeo Vanzetti

That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph.

I did not spittel a drop of blood, or steal a cent in all my life.

I wish to say to you that I am innocent. I have never done a crime, some sins, but never any crime. I thank you for everything you have done for me. I am innocent of all crime, not only this one, but of all, all. I am an innocent man. I now wish to forgive some people for what they are doing to me.
