In Sicilia non importa far male o far bene: il peccato che noi Siciliani non perdoniamo mai è semplicemente quello di 'fare'. Siamo vecchi, Chevalley, vecchissimi. Sono venticinque secoli almeno che portiamo sulle spalle il peso di magnifiche civiltà, eterogenee, tutte venute da fuori già complete e perfezionate, nessuna germogliata da noi stessi, nessuna a cui abbiamo dato il 'la'; noi siamo dei bianchi quanto lo è lei, Chevalley, e quanto la regina d'Inghilterra; eppure da duemilacinquecento anni siamo colonia. Non lo dico per lagnarmi; è in gran parte colpa nostra; ma siamo stanchi e svuotati lo stesso.
(Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Il Gattopardo)
And in case you couldn't gather -- FORZA MILAN!
