| Quote #1 "Why did you join up with the Italians?" |
Characters are constantly asking Frederic about this. His natural embrace of what is supposed to be foreign is foreign to some people Frederic encounters. It is also intriguing and provocative.
| Quote #2 "[…] really you are just like me underneath." |

| Quote #3 "But there in my country it is understood that a man may love God." (11.72) |
The priest is perhaps the biggest foreigner in the novel. His "country" is an ideal, one which everyone wants to reach. We all want to live in a place where we’re understood.
