“May the new era be an era of liberty and respect for everyone--including writers! Only through liberty and respect for culture can Europe be saved from the cruel days of which Montesquieu spoke in the Esprit des lois: "Thus, in the days of fables, after the floods and deluges, there came forth from the soil armed men who exterminated each other." Boook XXXII, Chapter XXIII.”

“E chi negherà che noi toscani sappiamo entrar con gli occhi della mente in fondo alle cose, e guardar dentro? Che siamo come quegli insetti che prendono il polline dai fiori maschi e lo portano ai fiori femmine? Che noi portiamo l'intelligenza, come un polline, alle pietre, e ne facciamo nascere chiese e palazzi, torri maschi e piazze femmine? Chi negherà che l'intelligenza in Toscana ci sta di casa, e che anche gli scemi, che in casa d'altri son soltanto scemi, da noi sono intelligenti?”

“Che la società capitalista è fondata su questo sentimento: che senza l'esistenza di esseri che soffrono, non si possa interamente godere dei propri beni e della propria felicità; che il capitalismo, senza l'alibi del cristianesimo, non potrebbe reggere.”

“Today I live on an island, in a house that is sad, hard, severe, that I built for myself, solitary on a sheer rock over the sea: a house that is the spectre, the secret image of prison. The image of my nostalgia. Maybe I never desired, not even then, to escape from jail. Man is not meant to live freely in freedom, but to be free inside a prison.”
