"The greatest enjoyment of oneself comes in moments of danger."
"You are wicked and naughty, very naughty, as much as you are fickle."

"I awoke full of you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night have left my senses no rest."
"The poor wretches say anything that comes into their mind and what they think the interrogator wishes to know."
About Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
French military leader who crowned himself Emperor in 1804, conquered most of continental Europe, and was finally defeated at Waterloo (1815) before exile to Saint Helena. Closely associated with Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand (his foreign minister, then his betrayer). For an intellectual contrast, see Duke of Wellington, British general and later Prime Minister — Wellington's Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns finally defeated Napoleon. The two never met but their generalships are the canonical opposed European military traditions — Napoleon's offensive-genius mass-conscription model and Wellington's defensive-discipline reverse-slope tactics are the textbook 'French Revolutionary vs British line' military pairing.
