More quotes by Marquis de Sade
Why do you complain of your fate when you could so easily change it?
Marquis de Sade
What we are doing here is only the image of what we would like to do.
Marquis de Sade
Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Marquis de Sade
Truth titillates the imagination far less than fiction.
Marquis de Sade
One must do violence to the object of one's desire when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.
Marquis de Sade
One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.
Marquis de Sade
What does one want when one is engaged in the sexual act? That everything around you give you its utter attention, think only of you, care only for you...every man wants to be a tyrant when he fornicates.
Marquis de Sade
I have supported my deviations with reasons I did not stop at mere doubt I have vanquished, I have uprooted, I have destroyed everything in my heart that might have interfered with my pleasure.
Marquis de Sade
Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.
Marquis de Sade
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
Marquis de Sade
Nothing we can do outrages Nature directly. Our acts of destruction give her new vigour and feed her energy, but none of our wreckings can weaken her power.
Marquis de Sade
To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell.
Marquis de Sade
They declaim against the passions without bothering to think that it is from their flame philosophy lights its torch.
Marquis de Sade
The reasoning man who scorns the prejudices of simpletons necessarily becomes the enemy of simpletons he must expect as much, and laugh at the inevitable.
Marquis de Sade
Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite.
Marquis de Sade
Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.
Marquis de Sade
For mortal men there is but one hell, and that is the folly and wickedness and spite of his fellows but once his life is over, there's an end to it: his annihilation is final and entire, of him nothing survives.
Marquis de Sade
It requires only two things to win credit for a miracle: a mountebank and a number of silly women.
Marquis de Sade
Nature has endowed each of us with a capacity for kindly feelings: let us not squander them on others.
Marquis de Sade
Now I beg of you to tell me whether I must love a human being simply because he exists or resembles me and whether for those reasons alone I must suddenly prefer him to myself?
Marquis de Sade
