Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.

Let not your zeal to share your principles entice you beyond your borders.

You are afraid of the people unrestrained-how ridiculous!

Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.

Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite.

Nothing we can do outrages Nature directly. Our acts of destruction give her new vigour and feed her energy, but none of our wreckings can weaken her power.

The mirror sees the man as beautiful, the mirror loves the man; another mirror sees the man as frightful and hates him; and it is always the same being who produces the impressions.
