“I will never show it to anyone. It was the most filthy string of obscenities that I have ever read.”

“None of us are saints.”

“I saw so many boys whipped, it took root in my mind.”

“I am not insane, I'm just queer.”

“I always seemed to enjoy everything that hurt. The desire to inflict pain, that is all that is uppermost.”

“I always had a desire to inflict pain on others and to have others inflict pain on me.”
