“[Gli uomini] sono gli unici, fra tutti gli esseri creati, che hanno la possibilità d'andare contro l'ordine posto da Dio nel creato: gli uomini sono cioè gli unici esseri veramente liberi, appunto perché sono liberi nei confronti di Dio... Dio aveva dovuto tollerare, ecco, aveva dovuto permettere questo male, e tutte le altre cattiverie e carognate che gli uomini fanno: e ciò per non andare contro la loro libertà. Il gran problema del male nel mondo... Appunto per non impedire la libertà dell'uomo.”
Eugenio Corti, The Red Horse

“Risolse che, certo, l'inquisizione andava condannata e senza scampo, ma a una precisa condizione: che a condannarla fossero i cristiani, non gli altri.”
Eugenio Corti, The Red Horse

“...il proprio falcetto: <>.”
Eugenio Corti, The Red Horse
