"My passions are violent, and when they speak, it is impossible for me not to obey."

"There are no morals, there are only habits."

"I have always been convinced that the universe is a place of perpetual motion, and that this motion is always tending towards destruction."

"My philosophy is simple: pleasure above all else."

"If it is the dirty element that gives pleasure to the act of lust, then the dirtier it is, the more pleasurable it is bound to be."
