“I live this reality. For me, the constant threat of violence is real life, not a theoretical exercise.” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #quote

“It is my innate sense of justice, my need to know that what is right will win out in the end” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #quote #justice
“Get out now before your torpedo the absolutely crucial objective of saving Malta from this horrendous web of abuse and criminality. All boundaries have gone. All institutions and offices have been subverted. The situation is dangerous.” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia
“If you are asking me to rally behind a crook, my answer is an emphatic “No.” A crook remains a crook whether he is wearing the Nationalist Party emblem or the Labour flag. And that is quite apart from the fact that proper journalists should rally blindly behind nobody.”
Here I am with a frozen bank account and 1,001 forms of government harassment because my conscience will not allow me to support this government's actions and those of its cronies, while key members of the Opposition tell me "we have to eat".

The essence of his arguments against me in court has, over the long years, inevitably been the same: “This evil woman is bad for society, dangerous to its senior male members, and must be put to death.”#DaphneCaruanaGalizia

"She made me do it."
It's just another variation on the popular Maltese theme, "Ittantani x-xitan." #DaphneCaruanaGalizia
“Malta’s public life is afflicted with dangerously unstable men with no principles or scruples, and they have migrated as though magnetised to Joseph Muscat and Keith Schembri as the source and means to achieving their desire.” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia

"Attack" - the favourite word of Maltese bigots. All criticism is "attacks" #DaphneCaruanaGalizia
“Facts are facts. You don't have to believe them or otherwise. They just are. It's not a matter of faith.” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia
Notes From Daphne retweeted
"You could think it ridiculous, but really it is tragic that we have come to this, that systems put in place to ensure that justice is done and seen to be done are instead used to parody it."

“If the people demand justice, they would vote for it. I'm keeping an open mind about that.” #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #JusticeForDaphne
