Marquise de Merteuil: I've distilled every thing to one single principle: win or die.

When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.

A man enjoys the happiness he feels, a woman the happiness she gives.

I assure you that the world is not so amusing as we imagined.

You may conquer her love of God: you will never overcome her fear of the devil.

Marquise de Merteuil: I've distilled every thing to one single principle: win or die.

Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.
