Quote by Antonio Gramsci

"The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear."

"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."

"All men are intellectuals, but not all men have in society the function of intellectuals."

"To know oneself is true progress, for it leads to the conquest of the self."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
