The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues. - Vicesimus Knox

Can anything be more absurd than keeping women in a state of ignorance, and yet so vehemently to insist on their resisting temptation?

O philosophy, life’s guide! O searcher-out of virtue and expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been without thee?

You must master the vices. You know that if a thing is worth doing it's worth doing well. If, however, a thing is not worth doing then it's worth doing fabulously, amazingly, with grace, style and panache.”
