“Desiring always to be in mourning, he clothed himself with night.”

“As he wished always to appear in mourning, he clothed himself with the night.”

“Now get some clothes on before the women around here are driven into a frenzy."He gave me a mournful look. "I'm afraid that'll happen with or without clothes, my dear.”

“A man who desires to soften another man's heart, should always abuse himself. In softening a woman's heart, he should abuse her.”

“She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.”

“The heart of a man is a small thing but it desires great matters. It is not big enough for a dog’s dinner but the whole world is not big enough for it. Man spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing. From the lamb he tears its guts and makes his harp resound; from the wolf his most deadly tooth to polish his pretty works of art; from the elephant his tusks to make a toy for his child.(...)And who will exterminate him who exterminates all others?”
