At the Bastille, he made the acquaintance of a certain Exili, an Italian who nurtured in him the desire for revenge and taught him, at the same time, the means to achieve it without being punished. "The Frenchs" he said, "act too honestly in their crimes, and also execute their revenge with so little skill that they always become the victim of their revenge.

The Italians are more refined in their revenge. "
