“Bisogna fare la propria vita, come si fa un'opera d'arte. Bisogna che la vita d'un uomo d'intelletto sia opera di lui. La superiorità vera é tutta qui. Bisogna conservare ad ogni costo la libertà, fin nell'ebbrezza. La regola dell'uomo d'intelletto, eccola: - Habere, non haberi.”
― Gabriele D'Annunzio
