Marquis de Sade
It requires only two things to win credit for a miracle: a mountebank and a number of silly women.

There is a kind of pleasure which comes from sacrilege or the profanation of the objects offered us for worship.
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
Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite.
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
