More quotes by Paolo Borsellino

If young people deny it their consent, even the all-powerful and mysterious mafia will vanish like a nightmare.

It is beautiful to die for what you believe in; those who are afraid die every day, those who are not afraid die only once.

Talk about the mafia. Talk about it on the radio, on television, in the newspapers. But talk about it.

Politics and the mafia are two powers that live off controlling the same territory: either they wage war against each other or they come to an agreement.

At least, I said, if he has to be eliminated, the public must know about it, must be aware of it. The anti-Mafia pool must die in front of everyone, it must not die in silence.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
