Quotes by Paolo Volponi (?)

“Chi legge si ribella, più ancora di chi scrive!”
― Paolo Volponi

“Tutti avevano un muscolo tirato, o le labbra strette, o gli occhi socchiusi o le sopracciglia aggrottate. Vuol dire che tutti avevano un pensiero che batteva dentro le loro teste e rimbalzava su tutta la fabbrica e ancora batteva. La fabbrica non dava distrazioni a tale pensiero: un albero, un uccello, una parola, un passante. Non bastava levar gli occhi dal lavoro e muoverli in giro: non c'era nulla che non fosse un pezzo della fabbrica.”
― Paolo Volponi, Memoriale

“As a matter of fact, the competition for prizes, the desire for promotions, the wish to ingratiate yourself with the foreman, all these things that go on continuously in every department lead you to lay aside your judgment and take on the defense of the factory's interests even though they are to your detriment and to the detriment of the other workers.

At whatever level they may be, how wrong people are if they think that they can ever become part of the factory!”
― Paolo Volponi, Memoriale
