“Love is a trick played on us by the forces of evolution. Pleasure is the bait laid down by the same. There is only power. Power is of the individual mind but the mind's power is not enough. Power of the body decides everything in the end and only might is right.”

“The seventeenth century is everywhere a time in which the state's power over everything individual increases, whether that power be in absolutist hands or may be considered the result of a contract, etc. People begin to dispute the sacred right of the individual ruler or authority without being aware that at the same time they are playing into the hands of a colossal state power.”

“The mind...the mind was the most powerful force for and against someone.”

“The power of a kiss is a heady pleasure, one that teases the mind, warms the heart, lifts the soul and tempts the body.”

“We (women) are a powerful force, but it is not our fists that propel us, it is our minds and wiles.”

“Fight for the only thing she knew was good enough, noble enough, powerful enough to be worth risking everything... Love.”
