"Hay que confesar que había días en que la condesa no dirigía la palabra a nadie; era vista paseando bajo los altos castaños, hundida en sombríos ensueños; era demasiado inteligente para no sentir a veces cuán tedioso es no tener con quién cambiar ideas."-Robert Andrew Parker, The Charterhouse of Parma
"Men siden året 1635, da Milano-provinsen ble underlagt spanjolene, disse tause, mistenksomme, hovmodige herrer som alltid fryktet opprør, hadde livsgleden vært borte. Folk tok etter herskernes livsform og var mer opptatt av å hevne den minste fornærmelse med et dolkestøt, enn å nyte livet."-Robert Andrew Parker, The Charterhouse of Parma
"El lejano sonido de la campana de un pueblecito escondido bajo los árboles conmueve nuestra imaginación. Estos sones que las aguas transportan dulcificándolos adquieren un tinte de dulce melancolía y de resignación, y parecen decir al hombre: "la vida huye, no te muestres, pues, tan reacio a la dicha que se presenta, y apresúrate en gozarla."-Robert Andrew Parker, The Charterhouse of Parma
