Ignazio Silone, an Italian author and political activist, used his literary talents to shine a light on the struggles of the oppressed and the injustices of totalitarianism. His novels, including "Fontamara" and "Bread and Wine," offered searing indictments of fascism and totalitarianism, earning him praise as one of the most important voices of dissent in 20th-century literature.
"Fascism was a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place."
"On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men."
"Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority - literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political."
