There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.

In the old days, one married a wife; now one forms a company with a female partner, or moves in to live with a friend. And then one seduces the partner, or defiles the friend.

Now I know the full power of evil. It makes ugliness seem beautiful and goodness seem ugly and weak.

I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.

I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.

I, too, am beginning to feel an immense need to become a savage and create a new world.

When I free my body from its clothes, from all their buttons, belts, and laces, it seems to me that my soul takes a deeper, freer breath.
