We all have to face death sooner or later. And you are never prepared. I started reading the Bible at my father's bedside. Reading it, I did not regain my faith, but the more I think about it, the more hope comes to me. It is not only the sacred text of two religions, Christianity and Judaism, and a very important text for Islam as well. Especially in the part of Ezekiel, in the book of Wisdom, there are words of a beauty that send shivers down your spine. And, although it is true that the picture of man that comes out of the Bible is terrible, from fratricide to sexual violence, civil war, incest, there are also the roots of hope, of love, of resurrection.

Additional quotes by Aldo Cazzullo

The demand for justice, rising from the families of the victims of paedophile priests in America and beyond, must be answered. And the Church itself in the past has not done everything possible to punish and prevent, sometimes preferring to hush up and cut short. But if there is one Pope who has not hidden in silence and embarrassment, but has strongly denounced crimes and omertà, it is Pope Benedict XVI. His ‘Letter to the Catholics of Ireland' is the most courageous document the Vatican has produced on the subject in its history.

Dopo il Risorgimento ci fu al Sud una guerra civile, con atrocità da ambo le parti, a lungo taciute; ma non erano piemontesi contro patrioti. Erano le milizie della borghesia meridionale e ovviamente l'esercito italiano, che difendevano l'unità faticosamente raggiunta contro un'alleanza reazionaria di nostalgici dei Borbone e del potere temporale del clero, oltre a briganti in senso tecnico.

Il meglio d'Italia sono i ragazzi che non piagnucolano, si mettono in gioco, vanno all'estero, imparano altre lingue, studiano, vincono borse di studio, lavorano. Il percorso di Fabrizia Di Lorenzo è stato interrotto dal terrorismo islamista a Berlino; quello di un'altra ragazza della sua generazione, Valeria Solesin, si era spezzato un anno prima al Bataclan. Ma tante altre italiane seguiranno il loro esempio. Anziché denigrarle, il governo farebbe bene a creare le condizioni affinché chi lo desidera possa tornare in patria.
