Tommaso Campanella

“All things are common.”

“The community makes all men rich because they have everything, and poor because they possess nothing.”

“For they say that it is a great misery to be a servant, and they are ruled so badly.”

“Ignorance is the mother of happiness.”

“The sun is the image of God.”

“Atheism is a disease of the mind caused by eating underdone philosophy.”

“I came to vanquish, not to argue.”

“The world is a great book, written by the finger of God.”

“The people is a beast of muddy brain that knows not its own force, and therefore lets itself be loaded with wood and stone.”
