“9- "أكبر قوات المجاعة هي حواء، فإنها تتحرك عند الجوع، فإذا تحركت تحرك لها كل إنسان في محيطها من الطفل إلى الشيخ ومن الغلام إلى الكهل، فإن المرأة قد تعود منها الناس أن تتعذب فتصبر وتصابر، فإذا ما ثارت تلك الصابرة المصابرة، فذلك هو الويل والثبور وعظائم الأمور، تتحرك لثورتها النخوة، وتستيقظ ليقظتها غرائز الحمية والرحمة.””
— Alexandre Dumas
