There is an African proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” which translates as “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” This is why we continue to remember the tales of struggle and tales of perseverance, even as we look to tales of hope. What a people choose to remember about their past, the stories they pass down, informs who they are and sets the boundaries of their identity. We remember the pain of our past to mourn, to heal, and to learn. Only in that way can we ensure the same mistakes are not repeated.

- Mais oui, Monsieur le juge, nous sommes d'accord : le vol du Crédit Lyonnais, le vol de la rue de Babylone, l'émission des faux billets de banque, l'affaire des polices d'assurance, le cambriolage des châteaux d'Armesnil, de Gouret, d'Imblevain, des Groseillers, du Malaquis, tout cela c'est de votre serviteur. - Alors, pourriez-vous m'expliquer... - Inutile, j'avoue tout en bloc, tout et même dix fois plus que vous n'en supposez.

¿Cómo conocí yo a Arsenio Lupin? La respuesta es fácil: la casualidad únicamente ha presidido una elección en la cual mis méritos no cuentan para nada. Es la casualidad que me ha puesto sobre ese camino. Es por casualidad que yo he estado mezclado a una de sus más extrañas y de sus más misteriosas aventuras, y es por casualidad, en suma, que yo fui actor en un drama del que él fue el maravilloso director; drama oscuro y complejo, erizado de tales peripecias, que experimento un cierto embarazo en el momento de emprender el relato.
