Eroticism is the approval of life unto death.
I teach the art of turning anguish into delight.
The warrior's nobility is like a prostitute's smile, the truth of which is self-interest.
The sacred demands the violation of what is normally the object of terrified respect.
How cruel my suffering is,—no one is more talkative than I am!
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.
