“Degli autori di prosa della Roma Augustea, Livio è l'unico ad essere sopravvissuto. Non è affatto facile giudicarlo. Scrivere storia richiedeva certi requisiti, certe tradizioni e caratteristiche. Ma si può fare appello alla teoria ed alla pratica oratoria sulla base di una visione equilibrata e ragionevole dell'affermazione di Cicerone che la storia è opus... unum oratorium maxime.”

― Storia di Roma dalla fondazione. Vol. 1: Libri I-VI
“Le bevande distillate, insieme alle armi da fuoco e alle malattie infettive, contribuirono a plasmare il mondo moderno aiutando gli abitanti di quello vecchio a imporsi come suoi governanti. I liquori ebbero un ruolo nella tratta degli schiavi e nello spostamento di milioni di persone, nella fondazione di nuove nazioni e nella sottomissione delle culture indigene. Eco più benigne di questa vergognosa eredità sono sopravvissute fino a oggi: i passeggeri di un aereo che infilano una bottiglia di liquore comprata al duty free nel loro bagaglio a mano lo fanno perché si tratta di una forma concentrata d’alcol, abbastanza forte da reggere un lungo viaggio senza guastarsi. E nel loro desiderio di evitare le imposte sul consumo, i compratori di liquori esentasse mantengono viva la tradizionale ostilità verso il sistema, tipica dei contrabbandieri di rum e dei whisky boys.”
