About This Quote
The quote, “Tell me, tutor,' I said. ‘Is revenge a science, or an art?” is a famous quotation that is attributed to Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374), although it may be by someone else. It is one of his most famous poems, which is why it was chosen to be the subject of the novel “The Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco in 1986. Petrarch was an Italian poet and scholar who wrote in Latin. This quote has become well known among students of philosophy because it addresses the question of whether revenge is learned or innate.
