More quotes by Marquis de Sade
Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change.
Marquis de Sade
The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.
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
Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination, and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.
Marquis de Sade
Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.
Marquis de Sade
One must do violence to the object of one's desire when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater.
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
My passions, concentrated on a single point, resemble the rays of a sun assembled by a magnifying glass: they immediately set fire to whatever object they find in their way.
Marquis de Sade
The more defects a man may have, the older he is, the less lovable, the more resounding his success.
Marquis de Sade
The degradation which characterizes the state into which you plunge him by punishing him pleases, amuses, and delights him. Deep down he enjoys having gone so far as to deserve being treated in such a way.
Marquis de Sade
Nature has not got two voices, you know, one of them condemning all day what the other commands.
Marquis de Sade
I don't know what the heart is, not I: I only use the word to denote the mind's frailties.
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
Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.
Marquis de Sade
Can we become other than what we are?
Marquis de Sade
Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.
Marquis de Sade
Nature, who for the perfect maintenance of the laws of her general equilibrium, has sometimes need of vices and sometimes of virtues, inspires now this impulse, now that one, in accordance with what she requires.
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
I want to be the victim of his errors.
Marquis de Sade
If the objects who serve us feel ecstacy, they are much more often concerned with themselves than with us, and our own enjoyment is consequently impaired. The idea of seeing another person experience the same pleasure reduces one to a kind of equality which spoils the unutterable charms that come from despotism.
Marquis de Sade
