Famous quotes containing the words italy and/or summer:

    “Everything in Italy that is particularly elegant and grand ... borders upon insanity and absurdity—or at least is reminiscent of childhood.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud,
    And after summer evermore succeeds
    Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold;
    So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
