About Me

.Fideliter ad lucem per ardua tamen. .Vi veri veniversum vivus vici. And yet in torpor there's no gain for me; The thrill of awe is man's best quality. Although the world may stifle every sense, Enthralled, man deeply senses the Immense. - Faust - (Goethe)*.

"I fought for the just,for the good and for the best of the world"- Olga Benario.
"I hate the indifferent. I believe that living means taking sides...Indifference is abulia,parasitism, cowardice, it is not life.That is why I hate the indifferent.I also hate the indifferent because, their whimpering of eternally innocent ones annoys me.Alive, I am a partisan. That is why I hate the ones that don't take sides, I hate the indifferent. - Gramsci.
"All people have their fancies: some desire horses, and others dogs; and some are fond of gold, and others of honour.
Now, I have no violent desire of any of these things; but I have a passion for friends; and I would rather have a good friend than the best cock or quail in the world:I would even go further, and say the best horse or dog." - Socrates.
"Wer ein Warum zu leben hat, erträgt fast jedes Wie."("He who has a why can endure any how.") - F. Nietzsche.

"Force always attracts men of low morality." - Albert Einstein.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke.
"Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice."- Spinoza.
"It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it." - Eleanor Roosevelt.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn't hear, doesn't speak, nor it participates in the political events. He doesn't knows the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swell the chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn't know that, from of his/her political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupt and flunky of the national and multinational companies." - Bertolt Brecht.
"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi.
