True Submission

Just finished reading an awesome book regarding the works of Marquis De Sade. Found the following memorable, so here they are:

- The lamb does not understand why it is lead to the slaughter amd so it goes willingly, because it is in ignorance. Even when it dawns on the lamb that it is going to be killed, the lamb only struggles because it does not understand that it cannot escape.

- If any Sadeian victims seem to incite their masters to their violence by tacitly accepting their right to administer it, let us not make too much of this apparent complicity. There is no defence at all against absolute tryanny.

- Absolute tryanny, by definition, absolute; once the victims, seized by force, enter the impregnable castle, they are already good as dead.

Mind-blowing book, read it. Recommended for all Sadeian fans.
