I'm an idiot who won the Literature Nobel Prize.

Real socialism is inside man. It wasn't born with Marx. It was in the communes of Italy in the Middle Ages. You can't say it is finished.

We thought the church had withdrawn from interfering in Italian politics... but instead there is a terrible resurgence. These are ugly signs for freedom of expression.

For some time it's been my habit to use images when preparing a speech: rather than write it down, I illustrate it.

It's not bad at all, getting a Nobel and making so many old fossils explode with rage.
