Think what a revolution it will be if we manage to get everyone to pay their taxes.

I am not a newcomer, you know, so I want to be judged for what I did when I was prime minister last time in Italy and president of the European Commission for more than five years.

We must now face the difficult task of moving towards a single economy, a single political entity .. For the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire we have the opportunity to unite Europe.

Democracies must have equilibrium... and the entanglement of politics and information must be minimized.

Are we all clear that we want to build something that can aspire to be a world power - not just a trading bloc, but a political entity?

I don't want to pass a punitive law, or use politics as a vendetta.

The EU must take on new responsibilities. And these new responsibilities call for intensifying the integration process.

Moreover, resolving the mother of all problems - the Israeli-Palestinian question - requires cooperation between Europe and the U.S.

Foreign policy can mean several things, not only foreign policy in the narrow sense. It can cover foreign policy, relations with the developing world, and enlargement as well.

We have to give ourselves a constitution which marks the birth of Europe as a political entity.

But Italy can only have any real influence on world affairs if it carries weight in Europe.

Hope fades by the memory and time.

Sometimes I dig holes for people to fall in. Then I shout, “I've got you!

I don’t miss anyone. If I did I would do something about it. Besides, some people come back...in dreams. That’s when they’re honest.

The things I want to express are so beautiful and pure.

Like everyone, I want to make my own "fine art."

I'm really happy with all the art that was inspired by religion, and I think I'd be tickled to little tiny pieces if art in the future was inspired by other things.

When you’re doing work you care about, you are able to work harder and better.

What does an actor know about politics?

Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women

Chess is not for timid souls.
