I was a little girl fighting as a partisan against Nazi-Fascism.

The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and in Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.

I know ours is a world made by men for men, their dictatorship is so ancient it even extends to language.

We are an age without leaders. We stopped having leaders at the end of the 20th century

True power does not need arrogance, a long beard and a barking voice. True power strangles you with silk ribbons, charm and intelligence.

I cry, sometimes, because I'm not 20 years younger, and I'm not healthy. But if I were, I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics.

I am known for a life spent in the struggle for freedom, and freedom includes the freedom of religion.
