Tao Te Ching

“In London alone there are 80,000 prostitutes... filles de joie, whose lives are as destitute of joy as of honor... human sacrifices offered up on the altar of monogamy... the inevitable set-off to the European lady with here arrogance and pretension.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer 1788 – 1860 CE
