Quote #7

ALMÁSY: So I got back to the desert, and to Katharine, in Madox's English plane, with German gasoline. When I arrived in Italy, on my medical chart, they wrote "English Patient." Isn't that funny? After all that, I became English.

This line can be seen as symbolic of all the different parts of Almásy's identity, parts of which are seemingly at odds with one another.
