“What is society but an individual?”

omg no :(

" The agonies I have suffered night after night have made for a hell composed of an infinite diversity of tortures, but—though this is a very strange way to put it—the wound has gradually become dearer to me than my own flesh and blood. "

" Painters who have had this mentality, after repeated wounds and intimidations at the hands of the apparitions called human beings, have often come to believe in phantasms—they plainly saw monsters in broad daylight, in the midst of nature." I could quote this whole book this is quickly becoming one of my favourites

"There are some people whose dread of human beings is so morbid that
they reach a point where they yearn to see with their own eyes monsters of evermore horrible shapes."

"Long personal experience had taught me that when
a woman suddenly bursts into hysterics, the way to restore her spirits is to
give her something sweet." mysoginistic...but a sweet treat always helps lmao

"I would find it more complicated, troublesome and unpleasant to
ascertain the feelings by which a woman lives than to plumb the innermost
thoughts of an earthworm."
