The Gadfly Quotes

“It was the Gadfly whose eyes sank first. He shrank down, hiding his face; and Montanelli understood that the gesture meant "Go!" He turned, and went out of the cell. A moment later the Gadfly started up. "Oh, I can’t bear it! Padre, come back! Come back!" The door was shut. He looked around him slowly, with a wide, still gaze, and understood that all was over. The Galilean had conquered.”

“Oh, yet come back, come back to me, beloved; for I repent me of my choice! Come back, and we will creep away together, to some dark and silent grave where the devouring army shall not find us; and we will lay us down there, locked in one another's arms, and sleep, and sleep, and sleep.”
