Among the numerous works on the Marquis de Sade, Ronald Hayman's revealing biography is one of the few that presents the reader with an idea of the real de Sade--the man rather than the monster. Hayman has immersed himself in the true character of this widely misunderstood man, excelling where few others have in dealing with de Sade with sympathy. This work is a much needed antidote to the general misconceptions surrounding de Sade and his life.… (altro)

Like most people, I knew that Marquis de Sade was the inspiration for the word 'sadism'. I also knew that he had written books noted for their explicit descriptions of sex, rape and torture. This was just one aspect of his character, however, and this book exposes us to others. Though he subscribed to and, in many cases, practiced the libertine philosophy, this was by no means unique or even unusual for the nobility of the eighteenth century. Sade spent much of his life in prison, not because of these practices (though this was the excuse given) but rather, due to the political maneuvering of his mother-in-law. Though I find Sade's view of life distasteful, if not sickening, I understand how he came upon it and, at times, I even pity him. Hayman's book is not always a pleasant read, but it is an informative one. ( )

I do not know if I am hangman or victim for I imagine the most horrible tortures and as I describe them I suffer them myself There is nothing I could do and everything fills me with horror Sade in Peter Wiess's Marat/Sade
The less natural and urgent needs are, the stronger the passions and what is worse, the greater the power to satisfy them; so that after long prosperity, after having swallowed up many treasures and ruined many men, my hero will end up by killing everything until he is sole master of the universe. Such is in brief the moral picture, if not of human life, at least of the secret aspirations in the heart of every civilized man. ~ Rousseau - Discours sur l'inegalite
Towards what is called evil, love made me pursue an adventure that led to prison. If they are not always beautiful, men bound to evil possess the manly virtues. By their own choice or a choice made for them by accident, they steep themselves knowingly, uncomplainingly into a reproachful shameful element like the one entered by victims of profound love. Erotic games uncover an ineffable world. The nocturnal language of lovers reveal it but such a language is not written down. ~ Jean Genet - Journal du voleur

Once the suffix -ism has been tacked onto a man's name, we tend to forget that his life was a process in which habits and attitudes developed in response to pressures both internal and external.
At one time a good Christian could not sleep with his wife for the first three nights of the marriage. Today these are the only ones he devotes to her. ~Pierre Manuel
Blasphemy is never logical. If an omnipotent God exists the blasphemer can only be damaging himself by insulting him; if he does not exist, there is no one there to insult.
It is unfortunately only too common for lechery to extinguish pity in man's heart. ~Marquis de Sade
For the libertine who has the means of gratifying every desire, the problem is how to save the appetite from becoming jaded.
The true way of enlarging and multiplying one's desires is to wish to impose limits on them. ~Marquis de Sade
Take advantage of your right to interfere with the line of the story...You are not required to be truthful - only to be convincing. Once you have your outline, work intensively to expand it without feeling obliged to stay within the limits it originally seemed to dictate...what we want from you is panache, not discipline. Go beyond your own plans. Change them. Add to them.It is only while working that ideas come. Should the ones that press in on you while you are writing be any less valid than those incorporated in your rough sketch?...In essence I am asking only one thing of you: to hold the interest until the last page...You owe compensation to the reader when you force him away from what interests him. He will forgive you for interrupting but not for boring him. ~Marquis de Sade
When all men are free they will be equal, and, when equal, just. ~Saint-Just
If we're not still afraid of de Sade, why would we still be keeping his books on the poison shelf?
Even today it is hard to feel innocent when talking about sexuality: so many of the relevant words are either intrinsically ugly or loaded with obscene associations.

It is because he had the courage to go as far as it was possible to go in a direction he would never have taken if he had been given freedom of choice.
