"The only way to escape from the miseries of life is to forget them."

"The greatest pleasure is to be able to live one's life as one sees fit."

"I have always been a man of pleasure, and I have always sought pleasure wherever I could find it, even in the most dangerous situations."

"I have always been of the opinion that a woman who is not a fool is not a woman, for folly is a woman's greatest charm."

"The greatest pleasure is to be able to live one's life authentically, and to be true to oneself."
