"Le diable soit des gens qui par désinvolture,
Ne nous ont point rendu les livres empruntés.
J’ai perdu tous les miens en semblable aventure,
Il ne me reste plus que ceux qu’on m’a prêtés."
Alexandre de Laborde
"La parola evasione che dà tanto fastidio ai materialisti storici,
significa scappare da qualche cosa;
l’avventura è cercare qualche cosa,
che può essere bella o pericolosa,
ma che vale la pena di vivere…"
Hugo Pratt
