"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."

Salvatore Quasimodo
"My readers at that time were still men of letters; but there had to be other people waiting to read my poems."

Man

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question."

Death

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue."

Earth

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Europeans know the importance of the Resistance; it has been the shining example of the modern conscience."

Conscience

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life."

Life

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man's expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"Religious power, which, as I have already said, frequently identifies itself with political power, has always been a protagonist of this bitter struggle, even when it seemingly was neutral."

Power

Quote_1.png
Salvatore Quasimodo
"The Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture."
