"Ambition leads me not only farther than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go."

(James Cook, esploratore; Marton, Middlesbrough, 27 ottobre 1728 – Hawaii, 14 febbraio 1779)

"Così, se fossimo stati uccisi, bisognava concludere, ci avrebbero mangiati..."
