Marquis de Sade
“I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.”
Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade

Georges Bataille
“A man who finds himself among others is irritated because he does not know why he is not one of the others.

In bed next to a girl he loves, he forgets that he does not know why he is himself instead of the body he touches.

Without knowing it, he suffers from the mental darkness that keeps him from screaming that he himself is the girl who forgets his presence while shuddering in his arms.”
Georges Bataille, The Solar Anus

Marquis de Sade
“The impossibility of outraging nature is the greatest anguish man can know.”
Marquis de Sade

Marquis de Sade
“I want to be the victim of his errors.”
Marquis de Sade

Georges Bataille
“And, writing to you, I know that I cannot speak to you, but there is no way of preventing myself from speaking. I am going abroad, as far away as possible, but everywhere I go I shall be in the same delirium, the same whether far from you or near, for the pleasure in me depends on no one, it emanates from me alone, from the imbalance in me which perpetually frays my nerves. You can see it for yourself, you aren’t the cause of it, I can do without you and I want you at a distance from me, but if you are involved, if it be a question of you, then I want to be in this delirium, I want you to behold it, I want it to destroy you.”
Georges Bataille, My Mother / Madame Edwarda / The Dead Man
