More Quotes from Marquis de Sade:
Murder is a horror, but an often necessary horror, never criminal, which it is essential to tolerate in a republican State. Is it or is it not a crime If it is not, why make laws for its punishment And if it is, by what barbarous logic do you, to punish it, duplicate it by another crimeMarquis De Sade
