Bartolomeo Vanzetti, (1888-1927)
"If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we [Sacco and himself] are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as we do now by accident. Our words - our lives - our pains - nothing! The taking of our lives - lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-pedlar - all! That last moment belongs to us - that agony is our triumph. [On receiving the death sentence. Letter to his son. 9 April 1927]"
