    Henri Charrière
    “Cum adică, băiete! continuă şmecherul, ai două muieri, una mai mişto ca alta, trăieşti gol în mijlocul naturii c-o întreagă bandă de nudişti simpatici, haleşti, bei, vânezi; ai marea, soarele, nisipul cald, până şi perlele le capeţi pe damoaca, şi nu găseşti ceva mai bun de făcut decât să laşi baltă toate astea ca s-o iei din loc? Încotro? Zi! Ca să treci strada în fugă, să nu te calce maşinile, ca să fii nevoit să-ţi plăteşti chiria, croitorul, lumina şi telefonul, iar dacă ţi s-a făcut de-o maşină mică, să faci spargere, sau să munceşti ca un dobitoc pentru vreun patron, câştigând cât să nu mori de foame? Nu te-nţeleg, omule! Erai în cer şi te-ntorci de bunăvoie în iad, unde, pe lângă grijile vieţii, mai trebuie să te fereşti de toţi gaborii din lume care te vânează!”
    ― Henri Charrière, Papillon
