1 " (it was) beautiful, like so many senseless things. "
― Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly , The Crimson Curtain
2 " I did not want to be taken for a fool – the typical French reason for performing the worst of deeds without remorse. "
3 " For with dandies, a joke is the only way of making yourself respected. "
4 " Night, which in Autumn seems to fall from the sky so suddenly, chilled us... "
5 " Dandies, who – as you know - scorn all emotions as being beneath them, and do not believe, like that simpleton Goethe, that astonishment can ever be a proper feeling for the human mind. "
6 " Hatred needs scorn. Scorn is hatred's nectar! "
