Marquis De Sade

[Ya know]

Been reading Juliette. It's insanely sexual, but the guy can write. 

 

What do you guys think of his quotes? He's hedonistic but I think he has a point.

“Before you were born, you were nothing more than an indistinguishable lump of unformed matter. After death, you simply will return to that nebulous state. You are going to become the raw material out of which new beings will be fashioned. Will there be pain in this natural process? No! Pleasure? No! Now, is there anything frightening in this? Certainly not! And yet, people sacrifice pleasure on earth in the hope that pain will be avoided in an after-life. The fools don't realize that, after death, pain and pleasure cannot exist: there is only the sensationless state of cosmic anonymity: therefore, the rule of life should be ... to enjoy oneself!”
― Marquis de Sade

 

“I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.”
― Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade

 

“So long as the laws remain such as they are today, employ some discretion: loud opinion forces us to do so; but in privacy and silence let us compensate ourselves for that cruel chastity we are obliged to display in public.”
― Marquis de Sade

 

“Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change.”
― marquis de sade
