Marquis de Sade

My philosophy is simple: pleasure is the only good, and pain is the only evil.

I am a revolutionary, and I will never cease to be one.

The only truth is that there is no truth.

I laugh at everything, because I am afraid of nothing.

The greatest pleasure is to imagine what is impossible.

I am a writer, and I write to shock.

The only real crime is to be boring.

I have no respect for anything, and I fear nothing.

My only religion is pleasure.

I am a man of my word, and my word is law.

The greatest pleasure is to be hated.

I have no conscience, and I am proud of it.

The only true happiness is that which is found in evil.
