“Never trust girls who let themselves be touched right away. But even less those who need a priest for approval.”
“In the realm of love and sex, it’s girls who are in the position of working hard to adapt themselves to the needs and fantasies of the mercurial males whose approval and attention they seek.”
“I condemn equally those who choose to praise man, those who choose to condemn him and those who choose to divert themselves, and I can only approve of those who seek with groans.”
“Those who tread 'adult' as a term of approval cannot hope to be considered adult themselves. When I became a man I put away childish things, along with the desire to be very grown up.”
“Approval is overrated. Approval and disapproval alike satisfy those who deliver it more than those who receive it.”
“...it is a mark of prudence never to place our complete trust in those who have deceived us even once.”
