Famous quotes containing the words france and/or italy:

    “The moment Germany rises as a great power, France gains a new importance as a cultural power.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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)
