I've always disliked kamikazes, that is, people who commit suicide in order to kill others. Starting with the Japanese ones from World War II. I never considered them Pietro Miccas who torch the powder and go up with the citadel in order to block the arrival of the enemy troops at Torino. I never considered them soldiers.

When my father was arrested, we didn't know where they had him. My mother found him at the house of torture. It was called Villa Triste.

Henry Kissinger may have wished I had presented him as a combination of Charles DeGaulle and Disraeli, but I didn't....out of respect for DeGaulle and Disraeli. I described him as a cowboy because that is how he describes himself. If I were a cowboy I would be offended.

I’ll parade with those who are alone like me. They exist. They are very few, but they exist. I’ll find them.

I am disgusted by the anti-Semitism of many Italians, of many Europeans.

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

I don't want to hear about my death.
