"A courtesan's life is a life of freedom. I choose my own path, I make my own rules. No one can tell me what to do."

"A courtesan? Yes. A spy? Never."

"I am a victim of circumstance, a pawn in a game I do not understand."

"I am not a saint, nor am I a sinner. I am simply a woman."

"My dance is a poem, each movement a word, each word a revelation."
