“How characteristic of your perverse heart that longs only for what happens to be out of reach.”
― Pierre A.F. Choderlos de Laclos, Les Liaisons dangereuses

“You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.”
― Julie de Lespinasse

“You thought her a pigeon. Pigeon, my arse. That bitch knew everything. She had been in on it from the start.”

“I shall possess this woman; I shall steal her from the husband who profanes her: I will even dare ravish her from the God whom she adores. What delight, to be in turns the object and the victor of her remorse! Far be it from me to destroy the prejudices which sway her mind! They will add to my happiness and my triumph. Let her believe in virtue, and sacrifice it to me; let the idea of falling terrify her, without preventing her fall; and may she, shaken by a thousand terrors, forget them, vanquish them only in my arms.”
― Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Les Liaisons dangereuses
