Francesi, non paghi di averci portato via tutto ciò che ci era caro, avete anche corrotto i nostri costumi.
La situazione attuale della mia patria, e l'impossibilità di mutarla, sono dunque un nuovo motivo per fuggire una terra in cui sono obbligato per dovere, a lodare uomini che per virtù dovrei invece odiare. Quando arriverò nella mia terra, che atteggiamento adottare, che linguaggio tenere? Quando la patria non è più, un buon patriota deve morire. »
( Corsica Napoleone Bonaparte, 1787)
