Represented Italy

Famous quotes containing the words represented and/or italy:

    Judge Bedford: I understand you refuse to be represented by counsel.
    Walter: That’s correct, your honor.
    Judge Bedford: Are you suicidal, Mr. Davis, or just plain stupid?
    Dale Launer (b. 1953)

    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)
