More From Marquis de Sade
- "There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience."
- "Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization."
- "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."

- "What’s a man’s age? He must hurry more, that’s all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold."― Robert Browning
- "Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret."― Benjamin Disraeli
