Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. The Happy Prince
Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many almost a vice. These people abstain, to be sure: but the bitch Sensuality leers enviously out of all that they do. This restless beast follows them even into the heights of their virtue and into the depths of their cold spirit. Thus Spoke Zarathustra
