“I can easily imagine belonging to one man for my entire life, but he would have to be a whole man, a man who would dominate me, who would subjugate me by his inate strength. And every man—I know this very well—as soon as he falls in love becomes weak, pliable, ridiculous. He puts himself into the woman's hands, kneels down before her. The only man whom I could love permanently would be he before whom I should have to kneel.”

“He simply painted the portrait of some aristocratic Mesalina, and was tactful enough to let Cupid hold the mirror in which she tests her majestic allure with cold satisfaction. He looks as though his task were becoming burdensome enough. The picture is painted flattery. Later an 'expert' in the Rococo period baptized the lady with the name of Venus. The furs of the despot in which Titian's fair model wrapped herself, probably more for fear of a cold than out of modesty, have become a symbol of the tyranny and cruelty that constitute woman's essence and her beauty.”

“Sin embargo, no por ello pienso vivir eternamente, y cuando, con mi último suspiro, todo haya acabado acá abajo para Wanda Dunaiew, ¿qué ventaja sacaré de que mi espíritu cante en un coro de ángeles o de que mis cenizas tomen una nueva existencia? De uno u otro modo, yo no renaceré tal como soy, de modo que he de renunciar a aquella consideración. ¿Pertenecer a un hombre a quien no amo, sólo por la razón de que le amé alguna vez? No, no renunciaré; amo a quien me place y le hago dichoso. ¿Acaso es repugnante esto? No; por lo menos es mucho más hermoso que si me regocijara del tormento cruel que provocan mis encantos, y me desviara, virtuosa, del desgraciado que se consume por mí. Soy joven, rica y bella, y vivo sólo para el goce y el placer.”
