"When I have read of cannibals, I have put to myself the question whether I could eat human flesh. I have always felt then a severe nausea. Now I often imagine that I am eating human flesh and feel the same disgust. I should like best to be a vegetarian. I always have to think of the animal corpses.
I have the feeling many times that I could bite my child. I often bit when I was a child, if I was naughty. I often think of the graveyards and how the dead bodies are rotting in the ground. I should much rather be cremated. I should like to cut off a dead man's member and have it sewed fast to me.
I should like to be a man. I should like to rob a dead man's soul before it went to heaven and turn myself into a man. I would then seduce all women. I want to taste every man and every girl, what their flavor is."
