Freedom only for supporters of the government, only for the members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of 'justice' but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when 'freedom' becomes a special privilege.

We stand todaybefore the awful proposition: either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; or, the victory of socialism.

Life is singing also in the sand crunching under the slow and heavy steps of the guards, when we know how to listen to it.

Before a revolution happens, it is perceived as impossible; after it happens, it is seen as having been inevitable.

Tomorrow the revolution will already 'raise itself with a rattle' and announce with fanfare, to your terror: I was, I am, I will be!

Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.

Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.
