“Ownership, even in love, is an illusion. No woman owned any man and no man owned any woman.”

“She’s a smart woman. I love that. Intelligence is a wonderful and powerful aphrodisiac. To me, it enhances beauty, makes an ordinary woman look like a movie star.”

“safety and love are both illusions!”

“even the righteous man is just a sinner livin in between sins!”

“i can become a new woman every day until i like the woman i become, then i can become her for a while, if not forever!”

“Every man kills the things that he loves. Some with a look, some with flattery, the coward with a kiss.”

“loneliness has its own needs!”
