“Benevolence is more a vice of pride than a true virtue of the soul.“
Remembering Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, the Divine Marquis, on his birthday.
The Marquis de Sade is a pretty amazing philosopher and even feminist (at least from a body autonomy point of view) if you weed past what was seemingly intended to shock the prudes and the authorities that basically kept him imprisoned without a charge or trial. Some of the weeds are pretty extreme, of course.
