The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.

AMERICAN PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY,
interpreting Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy

Men of honour are neither evil nor schizophrenic. They are people like us. The tendency of the Western world … is to exorcise the evil by projecting on ethnic groups and behaviours that seem different from ours.

But if we are to effectively combat the Mafia, we should not turn it into a monster nor think it’s an octopus or a cancer.

We must recognize that the Mafia resembles us.

JUDGE GIOVANNI FALCONE
Murdered by the Mafia in 1992
