Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch Quotes

He Simply Painted The Portrait Of Some Aristocratic Mesalina, And Was Tactful Enough To Let Cupid Hold The Mirror In Which She Tests Her Majestic Allure With Cold Satisfaction. He Looks As Though His Task Were Becoming Burdensome Enough. The Picture Is Painted Flattery. Later An 'expert' In The Rococo Period Baptized The Lady With The Name Of Venus. The Furs Of The Despot In Which Titian's Fair Model Wrapped Herself, Probably More For Fear Of A Cold Than Out Of Modesty, Have Become A Symbol Of The Tyranny And Cruelty That Constitute Woman's Essence And Her Beauty.
