"The first to see America. In each ship there is one. And we must not think that they are things that happen by chance, no ..., and not even in a matter of diopters: it is destiny. They are people who have always had that moment imprinted in their life. And when they were children, you could look them in the eye and, if you looked closely, you could already see America ready to jump, to slide through the nerves and the blood and I don't know, to the brain and from there to the tongue, even inside that cry (screaming), AMERICA, was already there, in those eyes, since I was a child, all of America. There, waiting."
- Alessandro Baricco Novecento.
