More quotes by Marquis de Sade
The mirror sees the man as beautiful, the mirror loves the man another mirror sees the man as frightful and hates him and it is always the same being who produces the impressions.
Marquis de Sade
How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
Marquis de Sade

Marquis de Sade
One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants.
Marquis de Sade

Marquis de Sade
Thread of their days without pity, and in the midst of life, without ever concerning themselves with this fatal moment, living as though they were to exist for ever, they disappear into the obscure cloud of immortality, uncertain of the fate which lies in store for them.
Marquis de Sade
Can we become other than what we are?
Marquis de Sade
Consider the problem from the point of view of evil, evil being almost always pleasure's true and major charm considered thus, the crime must appear greater when perpetrated upon a being of your identical sort than when inflicted upon one which is not, and this once established, the delight automatically doubles.
Marquis de Sade
The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.
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
It is certainly no crime to depict the bizarre ideas that nature inspires.
Marquis de Sade
There is a kind of pleasure which comes from sacrilege or the profanation of the objects offered us for worship.
Marquis de Sade
I write what I see, the endless procession to the guillotine. Were all lined up, waiting for the crunch of the blade... the rivers of blood are flowing beneath our feet... Ive been to hell, young man, youve only read about it.
Marquis de Sade
