📔 The Shadow of the Torturer
by Gene Wolfe
Quotes from this book
A smile I had learned to know elsewhere lurked at one corner of my paphian's mouth.
One can imagine an ideal servent who serves out of pure love for his master, just as one can an ideal rustic who remains a ditcher from a love of nature, or an ideal fricatrice who spreads her legs a dozen times a night from a love of copulation. But one never encounters these fabulous creatures in reality.
