  1. Rien ne peut imiter les fantaisies étranges des filles innocentes, et aucun vice ne peut se comparer avec ce que donne la peur d’une vierge devant l’amour physique. Les obstacles à l’amour n’ont pas été inventés pour protéger la vertu, mais pour rendre les plaisirs d’amour plus poignants.
  2. L’âme elle, est sûre de sa vocation, mais la vocation du corps c’est l’amour physique. C’est par là qu’il s’exprime, qu’il accomplit son rôle ; il ne pense que cela, il ne pense qu’à cela. Que voulez-vous qu’il entende aux préccupations de l’âme ? Son mariage forcé avec elle est un mystère. Il la hait et veut sa mort.
