"Sade's inverted morality is reflected in his sense of turned upside down eroticism. Where normal people prefer pleasant smells, Sade prefers foul stench. Where usually the beauty of youth is praised, Sade praises the ugliness of old age. "If it is dirt which gives you pleasure in the act," he writes, "then the pleasure will rise in proportion to the dirt." A typical sentence in Juliette: "I did everything this libertine required of me. I licked his balls, let him fart in my mouth, shit on my tits, spit and piss on my face, squeeze my nipples, slap my face, kick and fuck my ass, and afterwards let him come in my mouth with the explicit order to swallow his sperm." -- The History of Erotica (2011) by JW Geerinck |

Three-quarters of the universe may find the rose's scent delicious without that serving either as evidence upon which to condemn the remaining quarter which might find the smell offensive, or as proof that this odor is truly agreeable. ...-- Justine
French:
"Les trois quarts de l'univers peuvent trouver délicieuse l'odeur d'une rose, sans que cela puisse servir de preuve, ni pour condamner le quart qui pourrait la trouver mauvaise, ni pour démontrer que cette odeur soit véritablement agréable."
