More quotes by Marco Respinti

Truth is not limited to its material vessels.

Shifu and Shimu are the spiritual parents of the dizi, and the Tai Ji Men community would not have existed with only one of them.

The state is not the source of religious liberty, although it should acknowledge and protect it.

Freedom is immaterial and universal, and for this reason untouchable and undeniable. While liberties can be denied and curtailed, freedom cannot.

Only deeply peaceful men and women can build a truly pacific society, one that would be able to resist and last.
