Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment Nature injects in us all.
Why do you complain of your fate when you could so easily change it?
In an age that is utterly corrupt, the best policy is to do as others do.
One must do violence to the object of one's desire; when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
