Pessimism of the spirit; optimism of the will.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

I would like you to understand...

I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I'm a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I've always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.

In the life of children there ...

In the life of children there are two very clear-cut phases, before and after puberty. Before puberty the child's personality has not yet formed and it is easier to guide its life and make it acquire specific habits of order, discipline, and work: after puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious, tyrannical, insufferable. Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late: then of course

My practicality consists in this, in the knowledge that if you beat your head against the wall it is your head which breaks and not the wall - that is my strength, my only strength.

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

If you beat your head against the wall, it is your head that breaks and not the wall.

The old is dying and the new cannot be born. In this interregnum there arises a great diversity of morbid symptoms.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

How many times have I wondered...

How many times have I wondered if it is really possible to forge links with a mass of people when one has never had strong feelings for anyone, not even one's own parents: if it is possible to have a collectivity when one has not been deeply loved oneself by individual human creatures. Hasn't this had some effect on my life as a militant--has it not tended to make me sterile and reduce my quality as a revolutionary by making everything a matter of pure intellect, of pure mathematical calculation?

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

This is really the common mentality of prisoners: they read with great attention all the articles that deal with illnesses and send away for treatises and 'be your own doctor' or 'emergency treatments' and end up by discovering that they have at least 300 or 400 illnesses, whose symptoms they are experiencing.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

Economy and ideology. The clai...

Economy and ideology. The claim (presented as an essential postulate of historical materialism) that every fluctuation of politics and ideology can be presented and expounded as an immediate expression of the structure, must be contested in theory as primitive infantilism, and combated in practice with the authentic testimony of Marx, the author of concrete political and historical works.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

What comes to pass does so not so much because a few people want it to happen, as because the mass of citizens abdicate their responsibility and let things be.

The abolition of the class struggle does not mean the abolition of the need to struggle as a principle of development.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

The starting-point of critical elaboration is the consciousness of what one really is, and is 'knowing thyself'as a product of the historical processes to date, which has deposited in you an infinity of traces, without leaving an inventory.

Antonio Gramsci 45 quotes

A social group can, indeed must, already exercise 'leadership' before winning governmental power (this is indeed one of the principal conditions for the winning of such power); it subsequently becomes dominant when it exercises power, but even if it holds it firmly in its grasp, it must continue to 'lead' as well.
