Denis Diderot : Les bijous indiscrets
'But my dear, what a book! I am ashamed of it! I have read it right through and because I would not conceal from you the worse actions of my life, I send it to you, to show what a wicked book has engrossed your chaste wife these last two days. But is you, my dear, who have caused this vulgarity, for if I had not sought your amusement, I should not have amused myself with such an improper book.'
