"My only desire is to see Italy united and free."

"Italy must be made, even if it requires burning down half the cities."

"The only religion I believe in is the religion of humanity."

"The world is my country, and mankind are my brethren."

"To arms, then, all of you! all of you! And the oppressors and the powerful shall vanish like dust. The people shall be masters of their own destiny. The world shall be free!"
