Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

To love a woman who scorns you is to lick honey from a thorn.

A maid that laughs is half taken.

Sex: in America, an obsession; in other parts of the world, a fact.

Love is giving something you haven’t got to someone who doesn’t exist. 

There is no art without Eros. 

A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

Love lasteth as long as the money endureth.
