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

I leave to others the decision as to the good or evil tendencies of my character, but such as it is it shines upon my countenance, and there it can easily be detected by any physiognomist.

Desires are but pain and torment, and enjoyment is sweet because it delivers us from them.

Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom.

When a man is in love very little is enough to throw him into despair and as little to enhance his joy to the utmost.

Give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him. If that woman were me,I would love him alone and forever

My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good.
