I've been to Hell. You've only read about it.

Let us give ourselves indiscriminately to everything our passions suggest, and we will always be happy...Conscience is not the voice of Nature but only the voice of prejudice.

It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.

I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.

Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced.

Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.

In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.

My passions, concentrated on a single point, resemble the rays of a sun assembled by a magnifying glass: they immediately set fire to whatever object they find in their way.

Crime is the soul of lust. What would pleasure be if it were not accompanied by crime? It is not the object of debauchery that excites us, rather the idea of evil.

Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change.

One must do violence to the object of one's desire; when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.

I don't wanna change the world, I just wanna leave it colder..Light the fuse and burn it up, Take the path that leads to nowhere..

I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.

Spite is a little word, but it represents as strange a jumble of feelings and compound of discords, as any polysyllable in the language.

I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

I'll call New York for some cash.

As a 10-year-old girl, I would listen to my grandmother discuss issues, and she made a lasting impression on me.

You who choose to lead must follow. But if you fall, you fall alone.

It wouldn't be New Year's without a resolution. I've resolved to take a moment every day for the rest of my life to appreciate what I have.

All destruction, by violent revolution or however it be, is but new creation on a wider scale.
