“The individual who rebels against the arrangements of society is ostracized, branded, stoned. So be it. I am willing to take the risk; my principles are very pagan. I will live my own life as it pleases me. I am willing to do without your hypocritical respect; I prefer to be happy.

Is that ugly? No, it is more beautiful by far.”
― Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs
