Tourvel Quotes

“   'I can no longer endure my existence unless it is of use in making you happy. I devote myself entirely to that. From this moment on I am yours, and you will hear neither refusals nor regrets from my lips.' With such candour—naïve or sublime—did she give up her person and her charms, increasing my happiness by sharing it.”
― Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Les liaisons dangereuses
