Anyone who saw the French, in June 1940, letting their country drop so easily, and then a few months later, before they had really been made to feel the pinch of hunger, performing miracles of endurance, defying fatigue and cold for hours, in order to procure themselves an egg, cannot be unaware of what an incredible source of energy lies in paltry considerations.

Qui hagi vist els francesos, el juny del 1940, deixar abandonada tan fàcilment la pàtria i, uns mesos més tard, abans d’anar realment afamats, fer prodigis d’endurança, afrontar la fadiga i el fred durant hores, per procurar-se un ou, qui hagi vist això no pot pas ignorar-la, la increïble energia dels mòbils mesquins.
