“In Marie non c'era né entusiasmo né odio né sconforto. E nemmeno indifferenza. Piuttosto una sorta di scontrosa serenità. Se aveva un desiderio, era quello di essere un uomo che cammina su una strada, dorme e mangia dove capita, si siede su un mucchio di sassi e taglia un pezzo di pane con un temperino. Se provava un piacere, era quello aspro e inusitato della disponibilità. Camminava con passo sicuro, gli occhi scintillanti e la testa alta - troppo alta. E la stagione dell'anno moriva troppo delicatamente per la stagione del cuore che, al ricordo di una notte, riceveva una folgorazione, una luce troppo cruda, quasi fredda.”

“In marked contrast to the relaxed, typically Latin attitude of the Dominicans the Protestant missionaries were still proceeding at full blast with the fight for souls. These North American evangelists of strictly fundamentalist inclination combined in a curious fashion strict adhesion to the literal meaning of the Old Testament With mastery of the most modern technology. Most of them came from small towns in the Bible Belt, armed with unshakably clear consciences and a rudimentary smattering of theology, convinced that they alone were the repositories of Christian values now abolished elsewhere. Totally ignorant of the vast world, despite their transplantation, and taking the few articles of morality accepted in the rural Amenca of their childhoods to be a universal credo, they strove bravely to spread these principles of salvation all around them.
Their rustic faith was well served by a flotilla of light aircraft, a powerful radio, an ultra-modern hospital and four-wheel-drive vehicles -- in short, all the equipment that a battalion of crusaders dropped behind enemy lines needed.”

“In marked contrast to the wars we can always afford you will
frequently hear the same people talk about not having the money for any number
of things that affect the lives of poor people, such as adequate fire safety, decent
pay for nurses and teachers and winter fuel for the elderly: this is classism. The
state makes choices about the interests in which collective resources will be
spent. Poor people have no real voice in British politics, but we do have an
unelected second chamber of ‘lords’ influencing policy. None of this is
conducive to having a truly democratic society and we may not be able to
substantially change it, but it is important that we at least understand what’s
going on. Class affects everything - culture, confidence and worldview - and the
class system is so entrenched in Britain that even a person’s accent carries with it
implications about their social background.”
