Il mio regno è grande come il mondo, perché non sono né italiano né francese né indiano né americano né spagnolo: io sono cosmopolita. Nessun paese può dire di avermi visto nascere; Dio solo sa quale terra mi vedrà morire. Io adotto tutti i costumi, parlo tutte le lingue; [...] Dunque capirete che non essendo di alcun paese, non domandando protezione, non riconoscendo alcun uomo per mio fratello, non un solo scrupolo che arresta i potenti, non un solo ostacolo che paralizza i deboli, può arrestarmi e paralizzarmi. Ho solo due avversari, non dico due vincitori, perché li sottometto con la tenacia: la distanza e il tempo. Il terzo, ed è il più terribile, sta nella mia condizione di mortale. Ciò solo può fermarmi nella strada che percorro, e prima che abbia conseguito lo scopo a cui miro; tutto il resto l'ho calcolato. Ciò che gli uomini chiamano capricci della fortuna, ossia la rovina, i cambiamenti, le eventualità, li ho previsti tutti, e se qualcuno può colpirmi, nessuno può rovesciarmi. A meno che non muoia, sarò sempre ciò che sono.

Alexandre DumasDantes had entered the Chateau d’If with the round, open, smiling face of a young and happy man, with whom the early
paths of life have been smooth. and who anticipates a future corresponding with his past. This was now all changed. The oval face was lengthened, his smiling mouth had assumed the firm and marked
lines which betoken resolution; his eyebrows were arched beneath a brow furrowed with thought; his eyes were full of melancholy, and from their depths occasionally sparkled gloomy fires of misanthropy and hatred; his complexion, so long kept from the sun, had now that pale color which produces, when the features are encircled with black hair, the aristocratic beauty of the man of the north; the profound learning he had acquired had besides diffused over his features a refined intellectual expression; and he had also acquired, being naturally of a goodly stature, that vigor which a frame possesses which has so long concentrated all its force within itself.

To wait at Monte Cristo for the purpose of watching like a dragon over the almost incalculable richs that had thus fallen into his possession satisfied not the cravings of his heart, which yearned to return to dwell among mankind, and to assume the rank, power, and influence which are always accorded to wealth — that first and greatest of all the forces within the grasp of man.

Alexandre Dumasthe greater number of a man's errors come before him disguised under the specious form of necessity; then, after error has been committed in a moment of excitement, of delirium, or of fear, we see that we might have avoided and escaped it.
