The mass, whether it be a crowd or an army, is vile.

Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.

We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty...

War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.

You know what I think about violence. For me it is profoundly moral -more moral than compromises and transactions.

The truth is that men are tired of liberty.

Liberty is no longer the virgin, chaste and severe, to be fought for ... we have buried the putrid corpse of liberty ... the Italian people are a race of sheep.
