"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."

"The greatest adventure is to live without fear."

"I had long since lost any illusion of being loved for who I was and now accepted, with clean conscience, flowers, flattery, and money that fed my ego and my false identity."

"They say I am a dangerous woman. Perhaps I am. But I am also a woman who loves life."

"I am a woman who dares to live on her own terms."
