A slap in the face is more effective than ten lectures. It makes you understand very quickly.

People who want to live like Olympian gods must have slaves whom they throw into their fishponds and gladiators who fight during their masters sumptuous banquets-and the pleasure-seekers never care if some blood splatters on them.

Oh, you are the kind of man who will corrupt a woman to her very last fiber.

Every woman has the instinct, the propensity to profit from her charms, and there's a lot to be said for giving oneself without love, without pleasure.

Never feel safe with the woman you love, for a woman's nature conceals more dangers than you think.

You have corrupted my imagination and inflamed my blood.

The struggle of the spirit against the senses is the gospel of modern man. I do not wish to have any part in it.
