Italians Work

Famous quotes containing the words italians and/or work:

“I love Italian opera—it’s so reckless. Damn Wagner, and his bellowings at Fate and death. Damn Debussy, and his averted face. I like the Italians who run all on impulse, and don’t care about their immortal souls, and don’t worry about the ultimate.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Now you grab me by the ankles.
Now you work your way up the legs
and come to pierce me at my hunger mark.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
