It isn't my favorite because I have lots of favorite quotes, but here is one of them:

"What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea."

~Mahatma Gandhi
 
Anais Nin;

“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”

This everyday....

I love this!

"When she's abandoned her moral center and teachings...when she's cast aside her facade of propriety and lady-like demeanor...when I have so corrupted this fragile thing and brought out a writhing, mewling, bucking, wanton whore for my enjoyment and pleasure.....enticing from within this feral lioness...growling and scratching and biting...taking everything I dish out to her.....at that moment she is never more beautiful to me. ” Marquis de Sade

The Marquis de Sade- so many quotes to choose from, the man was a genius, a complete nutter but clever with it!!

My favourite quote of the day:
I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.
 
De Sade is great and so is Anais Nin!

I lover her quotes too

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anaïs Nin

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
― Anaïs Nin

The writing one above is why I like erotic stories, reading and writing them.

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away." ~ Dinah Craik
 
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world that he didn't exist."
