    Memorable Quotes by Arthur:

    “To assimilate the strange and belong, in a society different from my own, had always been my desire.”

    “Rather the beer-swilling debauchees every time (even if, alas, I'm too fastidious to be one myself) than the coercive, terrible respectability of ordinary people, who assure you that maturity and conformity are identical and confuse religion with being "nice, good people like us."”

    “Hug and hold tightly in a dance, but be satisfied with this brief, despairing feel of another body, for it's all you<'re going to get unless you pay a prostitute for more: southern Italy in a nutshell.”

    “How much time and energy was spent on this so often fruitless pursuit of sex? Had I, in Sardinia, no other thoughts? Of course I had. I had a love for literature and art, for the mystery of life, for the wonder of the universe glimpsed on any starry night above. But the torment of desire outweighed all this. Hasn't the erotic always been a sultry-sweet urge of mankind, worthy of glorification alongside our so-called higher instincts?”

    “But will I ever return, I think, to the Sardinia of my soul?”
