The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.

To fornicate is to aspire to enter into another; the artist never emerges from himself.
I have forgotten the name of that slut. Bah! I shall remember it at the last judgment.
