A sad aphorism?

"Io odio essere italiano, ma per fortuna o purtroppo, lo sono" - Giorgio Gaber
(1939/2003)

(I hate to be italian, but fortunately or unfortunately, I am so" - Giorgio Gaber (italian songwriter and actor)

... no: bitter/sweet, BUT so true, it's a song by Giorgio Gaber!

Only a genius and a poet can say so well - using only few words - how I feel me.
