All the sensations which a woman yields to her lover, she gives in exchange; they return to her always intensified; they are as rich in what they give as in what they receive. This is the kind of commerce in which almost all husbands end by being bankrupt.[Toutes les sensations qu’une femme apporte à son amant, elle les échange; elles lui reviennent toujours plus fortes; elles sont aussi riches de ce qu’elles ont donné que de ce qu’e lles ont reçu. C’est un commerce où presque tous les maris finissent par faire banqueroute.]
