Famous quotes containing the word italy:

    “In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!”
    —Orson Welles (1915–84)

    “the San Marco Library,
    Whence turbulent Italy should draw
    Delight in Art whose end is peace,
    In logic and in natural law
    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

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