Quote by Anna Premoli

“La prima cosa che faccio, salutata la Maserati, è cercare dentro la mia giacca il pacchetto di sigarette a cui non riesco proprio a rinunciare. Sono perfettamente cosciente che questa roba uccida. Non devono scrivermelo con proclami più o meno catastrofisti su ogni lato del pacchetto. Ho un quoziente d’intelligenza sorprendentemente alto, e sì, so benissimo che fumare di certo non mi allungherà la vita. Ma non lo farà nemmeno lo stress quotidiano a cui sono sottoposto, o l’aria insalubre che si respira in quasi ogni città degna di tale nome. Perciò, visto che sono già venuto a contatto con sufficienti cause di morte prematura, non vedo perché privarmi delle mie amate sigarette. Morirò, siamo d’accordo. Ma lo faranno anche tutti gli altri che insistono con il rompermi le scatole per via del fumo. Qualcuno, probabilmente, morirà persino prima di me. Perché è così che vanno le cose in genere. Storte e ingiuste. Mica sono stato io a scrivere le regole del gioco…”

“When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms, and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class. In place of the old bourgeois society with its classes and class antagonisms we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.”

“Among those who trimmed their political principles after the outbreak of the war was Katusky, who particularly aroused Lenin's ire. 'I hate Katusky and at the moment I despise him more than anyone [he wrote to Shlyapnikov in October]: a beastly, rotten, smug, hypocrite. Oh no, - they say- nothing has happened, no principles have been violated; every one was right in protecting the Fatherland; internationalism (kindly note) consists in the workers of all countries shooting at each other in the name of the "Defence of the Fatherland".”
