To Kiss : An attempt to absorb the essence of the other person.

I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent.

Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead.

I have loved women even to madness, but I have always loved liberty better.

As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other.

I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence.

The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
