Born from humble origins, but he never bowed his head. The flame of freedom burned in his soul, pushing him to challenge the fascist regime, suffering prison and confinement.

There cannot be freedom without social justice and there cannot be social justice without freedom
Empty the arsenals and fill the granaries
The worst of democracies is better than the best of all dictatorships
A man is a man when he overcomes pain and does not betray his idea
Young people if you want to live your life worthily and proudly in good times and in bad times make your life be illuminated by the light of a noble idea
Culture first of all means creating a civil conscience making sure that those who study are aware of their dignity.
