Wael Ghonim quotes:

If you want to liberate a government, give them the Internet.

The last thing I would do to this country is to even put my personal interests about the country's interest. I have never done that in my life, and I will never do it because I, you know, I was brought up as a very patriotic Egyptian, and this is not just going to happen.

Khaled Said was a young man just like me, and what happened to him could have happened to me,

There are no heroes; we are all heroes on the street.

Our revolution is like Wikipedia, okay? Everyone is contributing content, [but] you don't know the names of the people contributing the content. This is exactly what happened. Revolution 2.0 in Egypt was exactly the same. Everyone is contributing small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And no one is the hero in that picture.

The revolution has no leader, I said. It was more like a raging wild horse that would buck anyone who tried to mount it against its will.

I am not a hero, O.K.? I am not a hero. I am a very ordinary person.

No one was a hero because everyone was a hero.

The power of the people is much stronger than the people in power.
