“'I am he whom you sold and dishonored -I am he whose betrothed you prostituted – I am he upon whom you trampled that you might raise yourself to fortune -I am he whose father you condemned to die of hunger -I am he whom you also condemned to starvation, and who yet forgives you, because he hopes to be forgiven -I am Edmond Dantes!'”

- The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexander Dumas
