“Two signs of decay - to love only beautiful women and to tolerate evil books.” A connoisseur of carrion and an impassioned proponent of advanced putrefaction, I happen upon this aforism by Joubert in which, by evidence of association, beautiful women are proven evil and evil books beautiful, and through the obscure workings of some Satanic alchemy, my love for the former is transmuted into worship and my tolerance of the latter into approbation.”
