You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.

Charity creates a multitude of sins.

Sins of the flesh are nothing. Sins of the soul are shameful.

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

There were sins whose fascination was more in the memory than in the doing of them, strange triumphs that gratified the pride more than the passions, and gave to the intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they brought, or could ever bring, to the senses.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
