Phallic identity is real and it must be destroyed. Female masochism is real and it must be destroyed.

When I don't do something different, I feel like I'm cheating - consciously or unconsciously stealing from myself.

Correct the wandering, convert the unbelieving, increase the faith of the Church, destroy Heresies, discover the crafty enemies, crush the violent.

Feminism has tried to dismiss the femme fatale as a misogynist libel, a hoary clich?. But the femme fatale expresses women's ancient and eternal control of the sexual realm. The specter of the femme fatale stalks all men's relations with women.

Lora LeighLe Chiffre was serving a wonderful purpose, a really vital purpose, perhaps the best and highest purpose of all.

We were privileged, in our short knowledge of him, to see and estimate his wickedness and we emerge from the acquaintanceship better and more virtuous men.
