Life is tricky.
At this solemn moment, in the presence of this tribunal, which is the representative of human justice, before France, before the whole world, I swear that Dreyfus is innocent! By all that I have won, by all that I have written to spread the spirit of France, I swear that he is innocent. May all that melt away; may my name perish if Dreyfus be not innocent. He is innocent.
What does it matter if an individual is shattered – if only justice is resurrected?
Why didn’t Picquart say anything?
You mean they KNEW and they ordered him to suppress the truth? Why,that’s monstrous!
I shall tell the truth. Because if I did not, my nights would be haunted by the spectre of an innocent man expiating under the most frightful torture a crime he never committed.
Perhaps you know of something better for me to criticize?
