“Once someone asked, when I was present, what constituted the greatest pleasure in love. Someone replied, naturally: in receiving. Another: in giving. Someone said: the pleasure of pride! someone else: the ecstasy of humility! All these muckers making like the Imitation of Christ.

Me, I said: what is uniquely, supremely voluptuous about love lies in the certainty of doing evil.”
