Marquis de Sade
Let not your zeal to share your principles entice you beyond your borders.

In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.
Marquis de Sade
I think that if there were a God, there would be less evil on this earth. I believe that if evil exists here below, then either it was willed by God or it was beyond His powers to prevent it. Now I cannot bring myself to fear a God who is either spiteful or weak. I defy Him without fear and care not a fig for his thunderbolts.
Marquis de Sade

Marquis de Sade
Sex is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.
Marquis de Sade
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
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
One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.
Marquis de Sade
