Sartre

Dostoevsky

Father said I used to pay several thousand to seduce girls.

That's a swinish phantom, it never happened, and for what did happen, 'that,' in fact, never required any money.

Dostoevsky - 1880

I've never paid a woman. I never understood where the satisfaction is when you're missing the pleasure of conquest.
