Liberty is no longer the virgin, chaste and severe, to be fought for ... we have buried the putrid corpse of liberty ... the Italian people are a race of sheep.

There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.

There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.

Three cheers for the war. Three cheers for Italy's war and three cheers for war in general. Peace is hence absurd or rather a pause in war.
