“If Sade's books are the kind which the French inelegantly describe as needing to be read with one hand, it is a sensible precaution to hold a sick-bowl in the other.”
David Coward, The Misfortunes of Virtue and Other Early Tales

“Sade's ultimate achievement was to make sex the choicest expression of obscene cruelty and absolute, despotic power.”
David Coward, The Misfortunes of Virtue and Other Early Tales

“Sade was not the Great Liberator so many have seen in him but the creator of a terrible, horrific, vision which is the death of hope, of history, of civilization itself.”
David Coward, The Misfortunes of Virtue and Other Early Tales
