Giuseppe Fava

“The moral climate of society is this: power has isolated itself from everything. It has placed itself in a dimension in which everything that happens outside of itself, in the real nation, does not affect it at all. Nothing offends this Power: neither accusations, nor denunciations, not pain, not desperation, not revolt. This Power resides in its own special place. Newspapers, the theatre, the cinema—they all pass along without hurting it. Politicians, businessmen, judges—they all stand up and applaud it…for this Power is convinced of its own invulnerability.” (“I Quattro cavalieri dell’apocalisse mafiosa”, published in the first issue of “I Siciliani”, n.1. January, 1983.)”

“In fondo al dramma del Sud c'è questa nostra solitudine umana: ognuno di noi è debole poiché è solo; ed è solo poiché rifiuta di avere fiducia o speranza negli altri, poiché è orgogliosamente convinto di poterne fare a meno.”
― Giuseppe Fava, Processo alla Sicilia
