The Queen of Whore

Further to my discussion on Wakao Ayako's screen image in 若尾文子的佛性與魔性 in the light of a Mishima Yukio quote, I have found yet another quotation by Anais Nin conveying a very similar concept, the concept of the "Queen of whore":

"The only woman who ever gave me the same pleasure was a woman who was incapable of falling in love, who gave herself like a whore, who despised the men she gave herself to. This woman had been a whore and was colder than a statue."

- Anais Nin, "The Queen", in Little Birds

(again I am really excited and thankful that I can appreciate Anais' perverse and frantic writings/obsessions with total detachment)
