Famous quotes containing the word italy:

    “the San Marco Library,
    Whence turbulent Italy should draw
    Delight in Art whose end is peace,
    In logic and in natural law
    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery—back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Lump the whole thing! Say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michael Angelo!”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
