Quotes
- “Nel collegio dei Barnabiti aveva imparato il latino, a servir messa ed a giurare il falso. Tre cose di cui si può aver bisogno da un momento all'altro. Ma uscendo dal collegio le dimenticò tutte e tre. Studiò medicina per alcuni anni; ma all'esame di patologia chirurgica gli dissero: «Non posso permetterle di dare l'esame con la caramella all'occhio. O si toglie la caramella o non dà l'esame» «Ebbene, io non dò l'esame» rispose Tito alzandosi. E rinunziò alla laurea.”
- “Not having a moustache, he was in the habit of twirling his eyebrows. “Why do you keep twirling your eyebrows?” a young lady asked him one day. “We all twirl the hairs we have, depending on our age and sex,” Tito replied. The young lady thought him very witty and fell in love with him.”
- “Egli sapeva che le fanciulle cominciano con un ritardo di cinque minuti e finisco con i ritardi di quindici giorni e anche più. Tutta la morale sessuale non tende, in fondo, che a scongiurare, nelle fanciulle, il pericolo dei 'ritardi'.”
- “Women are like posters. One is stuck on top of another and covers it completely. Perhaps just for a moment, when the paste is still soft and the paper still wet and slightly transparent, you may still catch a vague impression of the splashes of color of the first, but soon there's no more trace of it. Then, when the second one is removed, both come away together, leaving your memory and your heart as blank as a wall.”
- “No, I don't want to commit suicide, but I should like to fade away and die gently. To depart from life as one gets out of a bath.”
- “The mob loves those who amuse and serve it. But to amuse it you have to love it. I love no one, least of all the mob, because the mob, the multitude, are like women: they betray those who love them.”

Pitigrilli, pseudoniem van Dino Segre (Turijn, 9 mei 1893 - aldaar, 8 mei 1975) was een Italiaans schrijver. Een enkele keer gebruikte hij ook het pseudoniem Mathesis. Cocaïne (1920) is zijn bekendste boek. Pitigrillis moeder kwam uit een apothekersfamilie. Zijn vader was ambtenaar in het leger. Na een rechtenstudie werd Pitigrilli in eerste instantie zelf journalist en redacteur. Zijn bekendste boeken schreef hij in de jaren dat hij in Parijs werkte. Hij richtte het tijdschrift Le Grandi Firme op in 1924. Wegens de voor die tijd erg expliciete scènes over drugs en seks werden zijn boeken nogal spraakmakend gevonden.
