Famous quotes containing the word italy:

    “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)

    “When intimacy followed love in Italy there were no longer any vain pretensions between two lovers.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
