Martyrdom, sir, is what these people like: it is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
The only difference between a suicide and a martyrdom really is the amount of press coverage.
Where there is most feeling, there is the greatest martyrdom – a great martyr.[Dov’è piv sentimento, lì è piv martirio; gran martire.]
The way I see it, there is no greater spiritual beauty than fanaticism, of a sort so sincere it can only end in martyrdom.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
