More quotes by Marquis de Sade
Fear not lest precautions and protective contrivances diminish your pleasure: mystery only adds thereto.
Marquis de Sade
Sex should be a perfect balance of pain and pleasure. Without that symmetry, sex becomes a routine rather than an indulgence.
Marquis de Sade
What you call disorder is nothing else than one of the laws of the order you comprehend not and which you have erroneously named disorder because its effects, though good for Nature, run counter to your convenience or jar your opinions.
Marquis de Sade
Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.
Marquis de Sade
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
Marquis de Sade
We monsters are necessary to nature also.
Marquis de Sade
Variety, multiplicity are the two most powerful vehicles of lust.
Marquis de Sade
Nature has not got two voices, you know, one of them condemning all day what the other commands.
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 certainly no crime to depict the bizarre ideas that nature inspires.
Marquis de Sade
The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.
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
The pleasure of the senses is always regulated in accordance with the imagination. Man can aspire to felicity only by serving all the whims of his imagination.
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
Any punishment that does not correct, that can merely rouse rebellion in whoever has to endure it, is a piece of gratuitous infamy which makes those who impose it more guilty in the eyes of humanity, good sense and reason, nay a hundred times more guilty than the victim on whom the punishment is inflicted.
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
Crime is the soul of lust. What would pleasure be if it were not accompanied by crime? It is not the object of debauchery that excites us, rather the idea of evil.
Marquis de Sade
Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Marquis de Sade
In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.
Marquis de Sade
Let not your zeal to share your principles entice you beyond your borders.
Marquis de Sade
