"I was born to be wild and free, not to be caged like an animal."

"I love officers. I have loved them all my life. I prefer to be the mistress of a poor officer than of a rich banker. It is my greatest pleasure to sleep with them without having to think of money."

"I embraced every moment, for life is too short to be dull."

"I have seen the world, loved many men, and lived a thousand lives in one."

"I am ready to die. I have lived my life as I wanted."
