From the Publisher
- "Friendship throws out deep roots in honest hearts, D'Artagnan. Believe me, it is only the evil-minded who deny friendship; they cannot understand it."
- "Now an enemy is never so near and consequently so threatening, as when he has completely disappeared."
- "Women and doors - did I not tell you, friend Porthos, that they are always to be managed by gentleness? - D'Artagnan"
― Alexandre Dumas, Twenty Years After
