«How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie ? people claim they want to be free ? everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free ? they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains.

The man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak.

It is good for the digestion.»
