Turpitude Quotes

“Few men had been as cavalier and as debauched as the Président, but completely jaded, utterly torpid, all he was left with now was the depravity and turpitude of libertinage.”
― Marquis de Sade, The 120 Days of Sodom

“The Président was not the only one with depraved tastes: his three friends, and Durcet in particular, were all rather smitten with this accursed mania for turpitude and debauchery that causes one to find a more picquant charm in old, disgusting and filthy objects than in the most divine of Nature's creations.”
― Marquis de Sade, The 120 Days of Sodom
