Famous quotes containing the word italy:

    “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)

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

    “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)
