But it was incredible how fear and danger never produced ignoble words but always true ones, words that were torn from your very heart.

Tutti i nostri ieri (1952)

Fanfares of trumpets usually announced only small, futile things, it was a way fate had of teasing people. You felt a great exaltation and heard a loud fanfare of trumpets in the sky. But the serious things of life, on the contrary, took you by surprise, they spurted up all of a sudden like water.
