Story of O (Story of O #1) QUOTES

1 " A René por el contrario, se le veía ciego de deseo ante ella, paralizado por un amor que él no había conocido hasta entonces, un amor lleno de inquietud, inseguro de ser correspondido y temeroso de desagradar. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

2 " Su promesa la ataba tanto como las pulseras de cuero y las cadenas. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

3 " Tú confundes el amor con la obediencia. A mí me obedecerás sin amarme y sin que yo te ame. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

4 " Iba a tardar tanto en reducirla que al fin acabaría por enamorarse de su obra. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

5 " ¿Quién se apiada del que espera? Se le reconoce fácilmente: por su mansedumbre, por su mirada atenta, pero, con una atención falsa, atentos a otra cosa que lo que están mirando: a la ausencia. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

6 " Aquellos que aman a Dios y a los que Dios abandona en la oscuridad son culpables porque han sido abandonados. Buscan sus faltas en su memoria. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

7 " O se alegraba de que René la hiciera azotar y la prostituyera porque su apasionada sumisión daba a su amante la prueba de su entrega. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

8 " Qué era René al lado de Sir Stephen? Cuerda de heno, amarra de paja, cadenas de corcho, éstos eran los símbolos de los lazos con que había querido sujetarla él, para desecharla tan pronto. Pero !qué seguridad, qué delicia la anilla de hierro que taladraba la carne y para siempre, la marca que nunca se borrará, la mano de un amo que te tiende un lecho de roca, el amor de un dueño que sabe apoderarse sin piedad de aquello que ama! Y O se decía que , a fin de cuentas, no había amado a René sino para aprender lo que era el amor y saber darse mejor, esclavizada y colmada a Sir Stephen. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

9 " Pero nada le ayudaba tanto como el silencio, excepto las cadenas. Las cadenas y el silencio, que hubieran debido atarla al fondo de sí misma, ahogarla, estrangularla, por el contrario la liberaban. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

10 " Aquel al que se espera, porque se le espera, ya está presente, ya se muestra dueño y señor. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

11 " Lo que él le pedía, ella lo deseaba inmediatamente sólo porque él se lo pedía. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

12 " Él era demasiado joven para saber el impudor que hay en la inmovilidad y el silencio. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

13 " As a matter of fact," the other voice went on, "if you do tie her up from time to time, or whip her just a little, and she begins to like it, that’s no good either. You have to get past the pleasure stage, until you reach the stage of tears. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

14 " Would she ever dare tell him that no pleasure, no joy, no figment of her imagination could ever compete with the happiness she felt at the way he used her with such utter freedom, at the notion that he could do anything with her, that there was no limit, no restriction in the manner with which, on her body, he might search for pleasure? "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

15 " The chains and the silence, which should have bound her deep within herself, which should have smothered her, strangled her, on the contrary freed her from herself. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

16 " Whatever he wanted of her she wanted too, solely because he was asking it of her. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

17 " Finally a woman confesses! Confess what? What women never allowed themselves to confess. What men always criticized on them: they only obey the blood and everything is sex on them, even the spirit. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

18 " Her freedom was worse than any chains. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

19 " She was no longer free? Yes! thank God, she was no longer free. But she was light, a nymph on clouds, a fish in water, lost in happiness. "

― Pauline Réage , Story of O (Story of O #1)

20 " Your jealousy does not deceive you. It is true that you make me healthy and happy and a thousand times more alive. Yet there is nothing I can do to prevent this happiness from turning against you. The stone also sings more loudly when the blood flows free and the body is at rest. Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a god for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a god, and we all know that they are not as tender as all that. "
