“For a woman betrayal has no sense - one cannot betray one's passions.”

“Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but decisive advantage. Through man's passions, nature has given man into woman's hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the end is not wise.”

“One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though ... betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope.”

“Few things in life hurt as much as the awareness that one has betrayed the ideas of one's youth.”

“You can betray someone with a word or an action. You can betray them with silence or inaction too. And in betraying that one person, you can betray a whole world.”

“If you cannot predict the betrayal from the ones that you love and trust the most, then you are living in a fool's paradise.”
