Quotes about
[edit]- The mafia itself does not bring anything to mind. Like the homeland, the dead of Solferino. Ancient things. [...] Sciascia was a civil writer, a schoolteacher who wanted to teach us good social manners. But revisiting him today is like rereading Silvio Pellico. His function has been exhausted. We no longer need Sciascia. We need a new reflection, another Sicilian consciousness.
- From an interview by Francesco Battistini toManlio Sgalambro, ‘'Sgalambro: Sciascia addio, non servi più’' (Sgalambro: Farewell Sciascia, we no longer need you), ‘'Corriere della Sera’', February 11, 2005, p. 33.
