Quote
First of all, they came to take the gypsiesand I was happy because they pilfered.Then they came to take the Jews and I said nothing, because they were unpleasant to me.Then they came to take homosexuals,and I was relieved, because they were annoying me.Then they came to take the Communists,and I said nothing because I was not a Communist.One day they came to take me,and there was nobody left to protest.Bertold Brecht, inspired by Emil Gustav Friedrich Martin Niemöller

Quote
Não se dirá: Quando a nogueira balançou no ventoMas sim: Quando o pintor de paredes esmagou os trabalhadores.Não se dirá: Quando o menino fez deslizar a pedra lisa pela superfície da correntezaMas sim: Quando prepararam as grandes guerras.Não se dirá: Quando a mulher foi para o quartoMas sim: Quando os grandes poderes se uniram contras os trabalhadores.Não se dirá: Os tempos eram negrosE sim: Por que seus poetas silenciaram?

Quote
Io credo alla dolce violenza che la ragione usa agli uomini. A lungo andare, non le sanno resistere. […] Il pensare è uno dei massimi piaceri concessi al genere umano.
